A young lawyer, defending a businessman in a lawsuit, feared he was
losing the case and asked his senior partner if he should send a box of
cigars to the judge to curry favor. The senior partner was horrified.
�The judge is an honorable man,� he said, �If you do that, I guarantee
you�ll lose the case!� Eventually, the judge ruled in the young lawyers
favor. �Aren�t you glad you didn�t send those cigars?� the senior
partner asked. �Oh, I did send them,� the younger lawyer replied. �I
just enclosed my opponents business card with them.�
