May's joke

One day a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw a guy eating grass He told the driver to stop. He got out and asked him, `Why are you eating grass`. The man replied, `I`m so poor, I can`t afford a thing to eat.` So the layer said, `Poor guy, come back to my house.` The guys then said, `But I have a wife and three kids.` The lawyer told him to bring them along. When they were all in the car, the poor man said, `Thanks for taking us back to your house, it is so kind of you.` The layer said, `You`re going to love it there, the grass is a foot tall.`
