A couple is out taking a drive in the country when they come upon traffic
backed up and have to stop. After a short time a state policeman walks up
to the window and they ask him what the problem is up ahead. He says that a
tour bus full of lawyers has been involved in an accident and the bus has
caught fire. The couple then ask if there is anything they can do. The
policeman says yes, others have already been mobilizing and they've
collected thirty gallons of gasoline. -- thanks to krcooper@mindspring.com

A man was on a cruise in the Bermuda Triangle. A storm appeared without
warning and his ship went down. He was in a lifeboat and began rowing to
save people in the water. Ahead he saw a man waiving - he recognized
that it was his attorney. He stated: "We have to save him first, he
saved my ass on my divorce". They began rowing towards the attorney as
a pack of sharks began swimming there as well. They got there first and
began circling the attorney and the circle got smaller and smaller. His
friend stated: "Oh, no - they are going in for a feeding frenzy"
as they closed in and threw the attorney up in the air. He landed -
straddling two sharks on their backs and then they leisurely swam him to
the lifeboat. The attorney stepped from their backs into the lifeboat.
Everyone aboard the lifeboat couldn't believe what they just saw and
asked: "What just happened?" The attorney replied: "Professional
courtesy". -- thanks to Paul Edholm
A lawyer died and was standing in front of St. Peter at the Pearly
Gates. St. Peter said, "you can't come in here... you have to go to the
other place". But the lawyer was really good and pleaded his case to
the point where St. Peter said, "OK... here's what I'll do. You will
spend the same amount of time in hell as you did on earth, and then you
can spend the rest of eternity up here." The lawyer figured this wasn't
too bad of a deal, so he said "OK". St. Peter said, "Great... I'll see
you in 350 years.". The lawyer said, "But, how is that possible... I'm
only 65 years old!". St Peter said, "We go by billing hours". thanks to Jerry Friedman
What are the differences between a prostitute and a lawyer?
One will leave you with a smile on your face, and the other one leaves with your will.
One will give you a disease, and the other one is a disease.
One will love you and leave you, and the other one you wish would leave you alone.
One lets you lie back and enjoy it, and the other one bends you over and you don't enjoy it.
One tells you what they're going to do to you, and the other one won't admit it.
One you look forward to visiting, and the other one you wish you'd never met.
One is illegal and shouldn't be, and the other one is legal and shouldn't be.
One gives you what you paid for, and the other one you never stop paying.
One walks the streets openly, and the other one hides in an office.
One gets arrested for soliciting, and the other one is called a
solicitor.

The third felt electricians were as everything was color-coded.

A Lawyer and the Pope died at the same time, both went to heaven. They were met at the Pearly Gate by St. Peter who conducted them to their rooms. The Pope's room was spartan with bare floor, army cot for a bed, and a single bulb for light. They came to the Lawyer's room. It was huge with wall to wall carpeting, king sized water bed, indirect lighting, color TV, stereo, Jacuzzi and fully stocked bar. The Lawyer said, "There must be a mistake. This must be the Pope's room!" St Peter said, "There's no mistake. This is your room. We have lots of Pope's, but you're our very first Lawyer!" Thanks to Jim Kitchen

The banker dropped a $100 bill into the casket, and the car salesman did the same. The lawyer took out the bills and wrote a check for $300.

Why have scientists begun to use lawyers instead of lab rats for research? Two reasons: First, they are more plentiful than rats, and second, the researchers don't get as attached to them. One problem, though, is that no one has been able to extrapolate the test results to human beings.
