Open and Shut Case

Nathan is talking to his lawyer. "Here's the deal, Frank. If you're
absolutely sure I'll win the case, I'll give you the business."

"Okay," replies Frank, "but before I can give you my opinion, I
obviously need to know the facts."

So Nathan goes into great detail about his failed partnership and
ends up saying, "So now you've heard everything, do you think I can
sue my partner and get my money back?"

"Well," replies Frank, "from what I've just heard, it's clear to me
that you will win. It's rare to have such an open-and-shut case."

Nathan goes very white when he hears this.

"What's the matter?" asks Frank.

"I told you my partner's side of the case," replies Nathan.
