In a long line of people waiting for a bank teller, one guy suddenly started massaging the back of the person in front of him.

Surprised, the man in front turned and snarled, “Just what the hell you are doing?”

“Well,” said the guy, “you see, I’m a chiropractor and I could see that you were tense, so I had to massage your back. Sometimes I just can’t help practicing my art!”

“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard!” the guy replied. “I’m a lawyer. Do ya see me fucking the guy in front of me?”

An engineer, a physicist, and a lawyer were being interviewed for a position as chief executive officer of a large corporation. The engineer was interviewed first, and was asked a long list of questions, ending with “How much is two plus two?”

The engineer excused himself, and made a series of measurements and calculations before returning to the board room and announcing, “Four.”

The physicist was next interviewed, and was asked the same questions. Before answering the last question, he excused himself, made for the library, and did a great deal of research. After a consultation with the United States Bureau of Standards and many calculations, he also announced “Four.”

The lawyer was interviewed last, and was asked the same questions. At the end of his interview, before answering the last question, he drew all the shades in the room, looked outside the door to see if anyone was there, checked the telephone for listening devices, and asked “How much do you want it to be?”

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.

“Why are you eating grass?” he asked one man.
“We don’t have any money for food.” the poor man replied.
“Oh, come along with me then.”
“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 says, “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 Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas ranger decided to track him down.

After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit’s head, and said, “You’re under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I’ll blow your brains out.” But the bandit didn’t speak English, and the Ranger didn’t speak Spanish.

Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger’s message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina. “What did he say?” asked the Ranger.

The lawyer answered, “He said ‘Get lost, Gringo. You wouldn’t dare shoot me.'”

Two lawyers are in a bank when a robber runs in with a gun and
tells everyone to hand over their wallets. As the lawyers
comply, one reaches into his wallet and hands the other a fifty
dollar bill.
“What’s this?” he asks.
He repies, “It’s the fifty dollars I owe you.”

How many lawyers does it take to shingle a roof?

3 1/2 if you slice em’ right.

It was so cold this morning that I even saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets!

A squad car driver was covering a quiet beat out in the
sticks when he was amazed to find a former lieutenant
on the police force covering that beat. He stopped the
car and asked,

“Why, Mike, this wouldn’t be your new beatout here in
the sticks, would it?”

“That it is,” Mike replied grimly, “ever since I arrested
the judge on his way to the masquerade ball.”

“You mean you pinched his honor?” asked Pat.

“How was I to know that his convict suit was only
a costume?” demanded Mike.

“Well,” mused Pat, “’tis life and there’s a lesson in this
somewhere.”

“That there is,” replied Mike.
“Never book a judge by his cover.”

A pick pocket was up in court for a series of petty crimes. The judge said
“Mr. Banks you are hereby fined $100.” The lawyer stood up and said “Thanks, my
lord, however my client only has $75 on him at this time, but if you’d allow him
a few minutes in the crowd. . .”

A man appears before a judge one day, asking for a divorce.
The judge quietly reviews some papers and then says,
“Please tell me why you are seeking a divorce.”

“Because,” the man says, “I live in a two-story house.”

The Judge replies, “What kind of a reason is that! What’s the big deal about a two-story house?”

The man answers, “Well Judge, one story is…**I have a headache** and the other story is **It’s that time of the month!** “

After attending a party for his boss, the life of the party was nursing a king-size hangover and asked his wife, “What the hell happened?””As usual, you made an ass of yourself in front of your boss,” replied the wife.”Piss on him,” answered the husband.”You did,” said the wife, “and he fired you.””Well, fuck him,” said the husband.”I did, and you go back to work in the morning.”
