Free Advice??

A letter in the WJS recently told the old story again of asking a professional for advice: A woman told this story to an attorney friend. She said she was seated next to an doctor at a dinner party. She described having a pain in her knee, and asked the doctor what to do about it. She said he told me what to do, and it worked. But he sent me a bill. Do I have to pay it? The attorney says "You certainly do. You asked for his professional service and he supplied it."

The next day she received a bill from the lawyer.

Probably means there are no free lunches either.
