* A man with a legal problem goes to see a lawyer. The man describes the problem, and the lawyer sits and thinks for a few moments. Then he takes a volume from his Bookshelf Of Authority, thumbs through it briefly until he finds the right page, and writes something down which he hands to the client. "That should solve your problem," he says, "that will be £5000". "Five thousand pounds!" exclaims the client, outraged, "for looking up something in a book? I think I'd like an itemised bill, please!" "Certainly," the lawyer replies, and takes another piece of paper. "Itemised bill for services," he writes. "Looking something up in a book: £5. Knowing which book to look in: £4995."
