A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked “How much is 2 plus 2?”
The housewife replies: “Four!”
The accountant says: “I think it’s either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures
through my spreadsheet one more time.”
The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice, “How
much do you want it to be?”

Why lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer: In a trial in a small town in the South, the prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand – a grandmotherly, elderly woman.
He approached her and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know me?”

She responded, “Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams.I’ve known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you’ve been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you’re a big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.” The lawyer was stunned.

Not knowing what else to do,he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?” She again replied, “Why yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He’s lazy and bigoted and he has a drinking problem. He can’t build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he has cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him.” The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both lawyers to approach the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said, “If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, you’ll be jailed for contempt.”

An old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer.

“I want to become a lawyer. How much is it for the express degree you told me about?”

“It’s $50,000”, the lawyer said.

“But why? You’ll be dead soon, why do you want to become a lawyer?”

“That’s my business! Get me the course!”

Four days later, the old man got his law degree. His lawyer was at his bedside, making sure his bill would be paid.

Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, “Please, before it’s too late, tell me why you wanted to get a law degree so badly before you died?”

In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said, “One less lawyer . . .”

A lawyer addresses an all male jury: “Gentlemen, shall we cast this beautiful, lonely young lady into a dim cell in a prison, or shall we return her to her oceanside beach condo, Ocean City, telephone Number 555-4531?”

The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed.””Well,” says the Tyson man, “We are prepared to donate one billion dollars to the Church if you change the Lord’s Prayer from ‘Give us this day our daily bread…’ to ‘Give us this day our daily chicken…”Again the Pope replies “That is impossible. The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed.”Finally, the Tyson guy says, “This is our last offer.
