What makes it worse was the way he gloated over having puled a fast one on
the restaurant. He could easily have just said that it is his favourite
wine, that it is hard to get and it is a good price. But no..... he had to
let the lawyer know that it was such a steal and obviously a mistake and
that he was going to take advantage of it.
It reminds me of the old joke about two lawyers walking down the street and
see a beautiful lady. One layer turns to the other and says "How would you
like to **** her?" and the other lawyer replied "Out of what?"
