. Two lawyers are stranded on a deserted island,
nothing around them for miles and miles but water.
They've been stranded here for quite some time,
so they've gotten quite bored with one another.
One of the lawyers tells the other he's going to
climb to the top of the tree (the only thing on the island)
to see if he can possibly see a rescue team coming.
The other lawyer tells him he's crazy
and that he's just wasting his time and won't see anything.
But the lawyer proceeds to climb to the top of the tree anyway.
He's up there only a short time when the lawyer down
on the ground hears him say, "Wow! I can't believe my eyes!
I don't believe this is true!"
So the lawyer on the ground says,
"What do you see?
I think you're hallucinating and you should come down right now."
So the lawyer reluctantly climbs down the tree
and proceeds to tell his friend that he saw
a naked blonde woman floating face up headed toward their island.
The other lawyer starts to laugh,
thinking his friend has surely lost his mind.
But within a few minutes, up floats a naked blonde woman,
face up, totally unconscious.
The two lawyers go over to where she is,
and one says to the other,
"Well, you know it's been a long time... do you think we should screw her?"
The other lawyer responds, "Out of what?"

A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from
LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play
a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely
declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of
fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the
answer, you pay me $5, and visa-versa." Again, she politely declines
and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the
answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50!"
figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match.
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to
the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls
out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail.
After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The blonde
politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks,
"Well, so what IS the answer!?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep. ~~~~~~~~~
The lawyer is standing at the gate to Heaven and St. Peter is listing his sins:
1) Defending a large corporation in a pollution suit where he knew they were guilty.
2) Defending an obviously guilty murderer because the fee was high.
3) Overcharging fees to many clients.
4) Prosecuting an innocent woman because a scapegoat was needed in a controversial case.
And the list goes on for quite awhile.
The lawyer objects and begins to argue his case. He admits all these things, but argues, "Wait, I've done some charity in my life also." St. Peter looks in his book and says, "Yes, I see. Once you gave a dime to a panhandler and once you gave an extra nickel to the shoeshine boy, correct?"
The lawyer gets a smug look on his face and replies, "Yes."
St. Peter turns to the angel next to him and says, "Give this guy 15 cents and tell him to go to hell." ~~~~~~~~~

"I don't know", comes the reply. "Where does he normally work?" asks the constable. "I don't know", comes the reply. "Have you ever seen this man before today?", enquires the constable. "No, I have not", comes the reply. "Madam" says the baffled constable, "then how on earth do you know that he is a lawyer?"

"What else did you see?" he was asked. "Well, when he was finished the goat turned around and licked the man's penis!" Just then juror #3 whispered to juror #4, "yup, a good goat will do that," and juror #4 nodded his head in agreement. ~~~~~~~~~

A truck driver would amuse himself by running over lawyers he would see walking down the side of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve back onto the road. (at this point some of you are probably wondering how the trucker could distinguish the lawyers from the humans. Obviously he saw the trail of slime they left...)
One day, as the truck driver was driving along he saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over. He asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?" "I'm going to the church 5 miles down the road," replied the priest. "No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck." The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road.
Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively he swerved to hit him. But then he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so at the last minute he swerved back away, narrowly missing the lawyer.
However even though he was certain he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUD". Not understanding where the noise came from he glanced in his mirrors and when he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer."
"That's okay", replied the priest. "I got him with the door!"

"I can arrange some things for you," the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold.

All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls and their children's souls must rot in hell for eternity."

A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, "Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer."
The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for passersby would tend to think that three men were buried under the stone.
However he suggested an alternative: He would inscribe, "Here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer." That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark:
"That's Strange!"

girl I've dreamed of being a trial attorney."
"That's $250,000," the doctor replied.

surgeon's brain costs."
"Do you have any idea how many lawyers it takes to produce a pound of
brain?" the doctor replied.

A Few Thoughts On Lawyers!
A doctor was vacationing at the seashore with his family. Suddenly, he spotted a fin sticking up in the water and fainted. "Darling, it was just a shark," assured his wife when he came to. "You've got to stop imagining that there are lawyers everywhere."
"Nasty looking crew you got to handle out there this morning, judge," said the court officer. "Where did the cops find all those crooks?" The judge replied, "The crooks won't be here for another fifteen minutes. Those are the lawyers."
Murphy, a dishonest lawyer, bribed a man on his client's jury to hold out for a charge of manslaughter, as opposed to the charge of murder which was brought by the state. The jury was out for several days before they returned with the manslaughter verdict. When Murphy paid the corrupt juror, he asked him if he had a very difficult time convincing the other jurors to see things his way. "Sure did," the juror replied, "the other eleven wanted to acquit."
