ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

 

Editor- My apologies in advance to the John Bansbach, Joe Darweesh, Bill VonDohlen and any other lawyers in our club, but the following was just too good to pass up!

 

How many lawyers does it take…

1) The post office just recalled their latest stamps.  They had pictures of lawyers on them, and people couldn’t figure out which side to spit on.

2) How can a pregnant woman tell that she’s carrying a future lawyer?  She has an incontrollable craving for baloney!

3) How does an attorney sleep?  First he lies on one side, and then he lies on the other!

4) How many lawyer jokes are there?  Only three. The rest are true stories.

5) How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?  How many can you afford?

6) How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?  Three.  One to climb the ladder, one to shake it, and one to sue the ladder company!

7)  If a lawyer and an IRS agent were both drowning, and you could save only one of them, would you go to lunch or read the paper?

8)  What did the lawyer name his daughter? Sue.

9)   What do you call 25 skydiving lawyers?  Skeet.

12) What do you throw to a drowning lawyer?  His  partners.

13) What does a lawyer use for birth control?  His personality.

14) What happens when you cross a pig with a lawyer?  Nothing.  There are some things a pig won’t do.
