THE PROPOSITION

An attorney was sitting in his office late one night, when Satan appeared before him.

The Devil told the lawyer, "I have a proposition for you. You can win every case you try, for the rest of your life. Your clients will adore you, your colleagues will stand in awe of you, and you will make embarrassing sums of money. All I want in exchange is your soul, your wife's soul, your children's souls, your children's children's souls, the souls of your parents, grandparents, and your parents in law, and the souls of all your friends and law partners."

The lawyer thought about this for a moment with a puzzled face, then asked, "OK, so... What's the catch?"
