A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, beelines for a butcher shop and steals a roast.
Butcher goes to lawyer's office and asks, "If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
The lawyer answers, "Absolutely." "Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. Several days later, the butcher opens the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer: $250 due for a consultation.

律師答道：“完全可以”，“那你欠我 8.50美元，你的狗沒栓而且今天從我的店裏頭了塊肉”，律師什麽都沒說，馬上給他寫了一張支票。幾天後，店主打開郵箱，發現一封來自律師的信，信上寫道：谘詢費250美元。

3 I know the whole truth整件事我都知道了
At school, Little Johnny was told by a classmate that most adults hide at least one dark secret and this makes it very easy to blackmail them merely by saying, "I know the whole truth."

Quite pleased, Little Johnny waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth." His father looks shocked, quickly finds $40, and gives it to him, saying, "Just don't tell your mother."
The next morning, Little Johnny is on his way to school when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy decides to try again. "I know the whole truth."
The mailman drops his mailbag, throws opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your real daddy a nice big hug!"
小強在學校聽一個同學說，大多數成年人都至少藏著一個不可告人的秘密，而且這讓他們很容易被敲詐，隻要說句“整件事我都知道了”就行。
所以小強打算試一下。那天他從學校一回到家裏，就對媽媽說：“整件事我都知道了。”他媽嚇壞了，趕緊找出20塊錢給他，說：“千萬別告你爸啊。”
小強挺得意，等到他爸下班回家，迎上去就說：“整件事我都知道了。”他爸嚇壞了，趕緊找出40塊錢給他，說：“千萬別告訴你媽啊。”
第二天早上，小強出門去上學，看見郵遞員在他家大門口。這孩子決定再試試：“整件事我都知道了。”
郵遞員撇下郵包，張開雙臂，說：“那就給你親爹來個大大的擁抱吧！”
4 College dormitory rules罰款
On the first day of college, the dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules:
“The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you $180. Are there any questions?”
One student raised his hand and asked, “How much for a season pass?”

一個學生舉起了手，問道：“一個季度通行證多少錢？”

They had one bottle of lemonade between then. Jimmy went to explore while Tommy unpacked the food. When he returned, he found the bottle was empty.

還是紅嘴鴎謹慎，真不是能隨便敲詐的，弄不好把小命都搭上了~
以故事3為例，還好小強以爸爸媽媽和郵遞員為敲詐對象，如果碰巧對一個恐怖組織成員或在逃犯說出那句話時，可能會麵臨被滅口的危險，嗬嗬，所以一樣的話，不是對什麽人都可以說的。
