An investment counselor went out on her own. She was
shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and
pretty soon she realized she needed an in-house
counsel. So she began interviewing young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with
one of the first applicants, "in a business like this,
our personal integrity must be beyond question."
She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an *honest*
lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you
something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my
father lent me $15,000 for my education and I paid back
every penny the minute I tried my very first case."
"Impressive ... and what sort of case was that?"
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued
me for the money."
One day, an engineer died. he was the kind of
engineer that built stuff, like air conditioners.
When he died, he went to heaven, and met God. God
said 'Hey! You're not on the list! Go to Hell!'
So he walked down about 30,555,2091 flights of
stairs, and met the devil. He said, 'Okay! Come on
in!'
While in hell, he made all sorts of things, like
escalators, air conditioners, etc. One day, God
called the devil and said' You know that engineer?
Well, he's suppose to be up here.'
So the devil said, 'Are you crazy? I won't give
you this guy!'
God said, 'Well if you don't, I'll sue!'
So the devil said, 'Sue? You can't sue me! You
don't have any lawyers up there!'
Once a Pope and a lawyer died and they went to
heaven. So God came and said, 'Follow me and I
will give you your rooms.'
So they both followed. First God gave the Pope his
room. It was very small with a small bed and a
small desk.
'Thank you, thank you my lord,' said the Pope.
Then God gave the lawyer his room, it was big room
with a big bed and a big deck with a pool and
pretty woman.
'Mr.God, why do you give all this to me and just that small room to the Pope?'
'Well, popes, we have them by the dozens, and
lawyers, well, your the first one.'
A doctor tells a rich old man that he's going to
die if he doesn't get a new heart soon. The old
man tells the doctor to search the world for the
best heart available, money is no object. A few
days later the doctor calls the old man and says
he has found three hearts but they are all
expensive. The old man reminds the doctor that he
is filthy rich and implores him to tell him about
the donors they came from.
'Well, the first one belonged to 22 year old
marathon runner, never smoked, ate only the most
healthy foods, was in peak condition when he was
hit by a bus. No damage to the heart, of course.
But it costs $100,000!'
The old man waving off the last part about the
cost asks the doctor to tell him about the second
donor. 'This one belonged to a 16 year old long-
distance swimmer, high school kid. Lean and mean.
Drowned when he hit his head on the side of the
pool. That heart'll set you back $150,000!'
'Okay,' said the old man, 'what about the third
heart?'
'Well this one belonged to a 58 year-old man,
smoked three packs of cigarettes a day, weighed
over 300 pounds, never exercised, drank like a
fish... this heart is going for $500,000!!!'
'Five-hundred grand?!?!', the old man exclaimed,
'why so expensive?'
'Well', said the doctor, 'this heart belonged to a
lawyer... so it was never used!'
Three Doctors are dicussing which types of
patients they prefer. Doctor Watson says, 'I
prefer librarians. All their organs are
alphabetized.
Doctor Fitzpatrick says, 'I prefer mathmeticians.
All their organs are numbered.'
Doctor Ahn says, 'I prefer lawyers. They are
gutless, heartless, brainless, spineless,and their
heads and rear ends are interchangeable.'
A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and
Clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them
an envelop containing $25,000 in cash. He made
them each promise that after his death and during
his repose, they would place the three envelops in
his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have
enough money to enjoy the next life. A week later
the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor
and Clergyman, each concealed an envelop in the
coffin and bid their old client and friend
farewell. By chance, these three met several
months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling
guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there
was only $10,000 in the envelop he placed in the
coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money,
he would send it to a Mission in South America.
He asked for their forgiveness. The Doctor, moved
by the gentle Clergyman's sincerity, confessed
that he too had kept some of the money for a
worthy medical charity. The envelop, he admitted,
had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not
bring himself to waste the money so frivolously
when it could be used to benefit others. By this
time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous
outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in
the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and
most trusted friends. I am the only one who kept
his promise to our dying friend. I want you both
to know that the envelop I placed in the coffin
contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope
contained my personal check for the entire
$25,000.
Their was a doctor walking down the sidewalk one
day during the towns sidewalk sale days. he
noticed a stand that said 'brains for sale.' He
went over to investigate and saw a sign that said
'Doctor brains $8.00 a pound and another sign that
said Paramedic brains $12.00 a pound, Nurses
brains $30.00 a pound, truck driver $40.00 a pound
and lawyers brains $90.00 a pound.
So he asked the man behind the cashregister how
come his brains are only worth 8.00 and a lawyer's
worth 90.00, the man replied, 'do you know how
many lawyers it takes to make a pound of brains?'
There were three men traveling together, a priest,
a farmer and a lawyer. It was starting to get
late and they needed to find a place to sleep.
They came across this farm and they asked the
farmer there if they could spend the night. He
said, 'Thats fine but my guest room is only big
enough for two people, one of you will have to
sleep in the barn.'
The priest said, 'I don't mind sleeping with God's
creatures, I will take the barn.'
So they all agreed and went to their rooms.
About an hour later there was a knock at the guest
room door and there stood the priest. 'There is a
chicken in there that won't stop clucking! I'm
sorry but I'm going to have to sleep in the guest
room.'
'That's ok,' said the farmer, 'I'll sleep in the
barn, after all, I'm used to it.'
So they all agreed and traded places. About an
hour later there was a knock at the guest room
door and there stood the farmer. 'I can't stand
the odor from that cow in there any more. I'm
sorry but I'm going to have to sleep in the guest
room.'
'Well, I guess that leaves me,' said the lawyer.
So he went to sleep in the barn. About an hour
later there is a knock at the guest room door and
there stands the chicken and the cow.
A man walked into a curio store and was shopping
around. After awhile, he chose a brass rat and
brought it up to the counter. The proprietor
said, that will be $10 for the brass rat and
$1,000 for the story behind it. The man said,
'Thanks, but I'll just pay the $10 and pass on
the story.' He purchased the brass rat and left
the store. As he was walking down the street,
he started noticing all sorts of rats following
him. The further he walked -- the more rats
followed. He walked down to the wharf and still
more rats came out and followed him. So, he
decided to walk out into the water, which he did
-- and all the rats drowned. He returned to the
store shortly and when he walked in, the
proprietor said, 'Ah ha! You came back to pay
the $1,000 for the story, right?' 'No,' replied
the man, 'I came back to see if you have any
brass lawyers!'
How many lawyers does it take to plaster a wall?
Depends on how hard you throw them.
