He is looking for a hair inside the egg

There were two friend discussing the recent appointment of a third friend to a prestigious judgeship. One said, “Isn’t it wonderful that our friend has been appointed to such an important position.”
The second said, “I think he was appointed because he agreed not to take a salary.” The envious friend tried to belittle the significance of the friend’s appointment by speculating that he was appointed only because he agreed to work for no salary. This, of course, was not true. The friend was made a judge because of his exceptional qualification.
