Quotes - humour - Legal Jokes 2

Solicitor: someone who makes sure that he gets what's coming to you.

Never ask a question unless you already know the answer the person is going to give! (advice by trial attorneys)

That’s where I recently saw that wonderful joke "What happens if you give a lawyer Viagra?" Answer: "He grows taller"!

A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day carrying a bag of money. She insists that she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because it's a lot of money. They finally get her into the president's office and he asks her how much she would like to deposit. She says she has $165,000 and then dumps it out of the bag onto his desk.
The president was surprised and of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asks her.
The old lady says, "I make bets."
The president replies, "Bets? What kind of bets?" and she says, "For example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square." "Ha!" says the president, "That's a stupid bet, you can never win that kind of bet."
The old lady says, "So, would you like to take my bet?"
"Sure," says the president, "I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!"
The little old lady says, "OK, but since there is a lot of money involved is it OK with you if I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 AM to witness?"
"Sure," says the president.
That night the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again, thoroughly checking them out until he was sure that there is no way his balls are square and that he will win the bet.
The next morning at 10 AM the little old lady appears with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduces the lawyer to the president and repeats the bet, that $25,000 says the president's balls are square.
The president agrees with the bet again and the old lady asks him to drop his pants so they can see. The president does this.
The little old lady looks closely at his balls and then asks if she can feel them.
"Well, OK," says the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure."
Then he notices that the lawyer is quietly banging his head against the wall and he asks the old lady, "What is wrong with your lawyer?"
She replies, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that by 10 AM today I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."

A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentines cards signed 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" he asks. "I'm a family law divorce solicitor," the man replies.

"I once tripped over a homeless youth and gave him a dollar," the lawyer ventured. Once again the act of generosity was confirmed in the records. St Peter asked Gabriel's advice.

The truck driver and a priest

There is this truck driver who always swerves off the road to hit lawyers walking on the sidewalk. When he does this he always hears a loud thump. One day he saw a priest hitch-hiking and decided to do his good deed for the day, and pick him up. Well, the truck driver and the preist were having a conversation when the truck driver sees a lawyer walking down the sidewalk. He starts to swerve over to hit the lawyer, but then realizes that hitting the lawyer probably wouldn't be a good idea with the preist sitting next to him, so he begins to swerve back onto the road. As he's doing this he hears the loud thump again, and is puzzled. He thinks for a minute and then says to the preist, " Usually when I see those guys walking down the sidewalk I swerve over and hit them, but I decided not to because you were with me." And the priest replies, " Don't worry, I got him with the door!"

I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?" "Well, I really don't know," said the bunny. "I'm blind, and I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out." So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, "Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail, and a dear twitchy little nose; YOU must be a BUNNY RABBIT!" The bunny said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, WHAT kind of animal are YOU?" The snake replied that he didn't know, and the bunny agreed to examine him. When he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"
The bunny replied, "You're hard, you're cold, you're slimy, and you haven't got any balls.... You must be a lawyer."

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

"But, sir, I have a wife with two children!"
"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!" he said to the other man.
"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered.
"Bring them as well!"
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall."

A man was chosen for jury duty who very much wanted to be dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial he decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to begin he asked if he could approach the bench.
"Your Honor," he said, "I must be excused from this trial because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one look at the man in the blue suit with those beady eyes and that dishonest face and I said, "He's a crook! He's guilty as hell" So, your Honor, I could not possibly stay on this jury!"
With a tired annoyance the judge replied, "Get back in the jury box. That man is his lawyer."

She Was Gifted With The " Touch "

A dad walks into a market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a quarter in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market, someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat. He immediately starts choking, going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking and shouting for help.

A well-dressed middle-aged, moderately attractive but serious woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market, reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds her newspaper and places it on the counter. She then gets up from her seat and makes her unhurried way across the market.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully takes hold of the boy's testicles and squeezes gently at first and then ever more firmly. After a few seconds,the boy convulses violently and coughs up the quarter, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy, the woman hands the coin to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill-effects, the father
rushes over to the woman and starts effusively thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before -- it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?"

"Good heavens, no," the woman replies. "I'm a Divorce Lawyer."

On their way to get married, a young couple is involved in a fatal
car accident. The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gate
waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

While waiting, they begin to wonder ... Could they possibly get married in
Heaven? When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, "I
don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Wait here, and I'll
go find out !".

The couple sat and waited for an answer... a couple of months went by.
While they waited, they discussed that IF they were allowed to get married
in Heaven, SHOULD they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work out?" they wondered, "Will we be stuck together
FOREVER?"

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes," he informed the couple, "you CAN get married in
Heaven." "Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what
if things don't work out? Could we also get a DIVORCE in Heaven?

St. Peter, now red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.

"OH COME ON!!" St. Peter shouts, "It took me three months to find a PRIEST up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take me to find a
LAWYER?"

EXTREMELY LOW COST APPROACH TO DEALING WITH THE NEO HAZARD
From E.P. Grondine <epgrondine@hotmail.com>
In recent weeks we have been greeted with repeated announcements of the reduction in funds available to NEO programs, as governments whose revenues are coming under stress due to the economic slowdown seek to economize. In view of these developments, which trend is likely to continue for at least the next couple of years, perhaps it is time to re-consider the use of the ancient Mayan technique for dealing with the hazard of asteroid and comet impact, specifically that of human sacrifice. Now many in the scientific community may scoff at the idea and dismiss it out of hand, but as the Mayan priests pointed out, once they began human sacrifice, they were never again pounded by the sky gods. So by inductive demonstration, the technique appears to work. It has the further advantage of being an extremely low cost scheme to put into operation, as it requires no payment for any telescopes, electronic devices, computers, or staff, and even less payment for the bureaucrats who manage these programs. Of course, one does run into the problem of obtaining human sacrificial victims. While the Mayan resolved this problem by sacrificing their unwanted, literally their poor bastards, given the current economic conditions and the prevalence of extra-marital sex, such a plan may not gain wide public support today. But perhaps a ready solution to this problem may lie immediately at hand, specifically, in the use of lawyers as human sacrificial victims. To my knowledge I do not believe that anyone in the NEO community has ever previously considered the use of lawyers for this purpose. What advantages does the use of lawyers as human sacrificial victims bring, aside from the fact that there appears to be an over-abundant supply of them? Well, first off, they seem to be universally despised, and this seems to be true in every nation. Given the international scope of the NEO effort, it is nice to find a common point about which the citizens of most nations can agree. Second, lawyers could easily be captured for this purpose by the simple technique of placing a newspaper advertisement seeking an attorney for a lawsuit against a wealthy corporation. Once obtained, my understanding is that lawyers may usually be sedated by the administration of flavoured alcoholic beverages. Of course, one problem with the plan may lie in ripping their beating hearts out of their living bodies, as it is widely reported that lawyers have no hearts. On the other hand, it is also widely reported that lawyers have no feelings, and this may make the entire process somewhat easier to accomplish, in the case that lawyers can indeed be found who have hearts. In the case where it does turn out that lawyers indeed do not have hearts, then that does not necessarily mean that the scheme of using human sacrifice to fend off the next asteroid or comet impact must be abandoned. It is still possible that the scheme could be realized by the use of government accountants or bureaucrats instead.
Yours in science, EP
