I'm first, YES! Posted by: Cletus the Slack-Jaw Yokel at June 17, 2003 04:14 PMthe AMA and the APA are known for their whimsicalness. i think it was the APA that changed the science's official view of homosexuality because of rabid lobbying rather than scientific research. Posted by: travis at June 17, 2003 04:15 PMOnce again litigiaphobia raises its ugly head. This irrational condition afflicting millions is giving people a skewed view of the legal profession. (The preceding was a public service message from the American Bar Association) Shakespeare: First thing we do, Let's kill all the lawyers! Me: ditto! nuff said Posted by: mj larkins sr at June 17, 2003 05:14 PMTwo scariest mergers: What's a lawyer up to his neck in concrete? Not enough concrete! How can you tell the difference between a dead lawyer and a dead skunk in the road? The skunk has tire skidmarks around it! Sorry, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to rag on lawyers some more.

The source donor was John Dillinger Posted by: Robert at June 17, 2003 11:04 PMI am having legal problems now, that I believe are my attorney's fault. His answer is, "What needs to be done now, was not included in my original fee, it will be extra!" How do people like him sleep at night? If you think judges are any different, think again, they are attorney's too. I saw my attorney in the hallway, before court, laughing and having a good old time with the judge, and would bet, he did the same with the opposition attorney! Posted by: Scr*wed & Broke at June 18, 2003 06:42 AMSpeaking of malpractice... What's the difference between God and a doctor? God knows he isn't a doctor. My brother-in-law died two weeks ago after a series of misdiagnoses and finally a staph infection. The arrogance displayed by the primary attending physician was nothing short of insulting. Lawyers are still my favorite professionals and am looking forward to the coming lawsuits. Gonna set the dogs on 'em. Sic 'em Posted by: Okie Dokie at June 18, 2003 11:31 AMScr*wed, These guys come to practice law everytime in the same courthouse and face off with each other over and over again. Okie Dokie My condolences and prayers regarding the unnecessary loss of your bro-in-law. I pray for all those hurting because of the loss. See the site www.nolo.com/humor/jokes.cfm for several hundred lawyer jokes. s.r.g., esq. Okie, we disagree on many things, but I hope you will accept my condolences on your loss. I also hope the legal system grants your family a measure of justice. yaksun, atty. (levity) A lawyer and two others are aboard a capsized boat which is sinking in raging storm. No rescue boat available or capable. Helpless onlookers on shore are transfixed with terror. The first 2 swim for shore, a mile or so away, and are eaten by sharks. Onlookers gasp and wretch. The third, a lawyer, realizing he is only seconds away from being swept under, makes for shore. To the surprise of everyone, the circling sharks form a "V" and escort him safely to shore, buoying him up when he is tired. When he arrives, news reporter asks him to explain the creatures' odd behavior. "Professional courtesy," he replies.

Posted by: LFC in Colorado at June 18, 2003 03:27 PMoh my all this time I thought that Malpractice attorneys were grown like mushrooms in dark places with lots of..of..of..Scott I don't know how to say the right word lady like, how about Manure... only not so clean. I'm a momma many times and I have threatened those kids I would haunt them past the grave if they took up the practice. Posted by: the old old lady at June 18, 2003 03:31 PMLong, but somewhat decent lawyer joke, I suppose... An engineer dies and arrives at the pearly gates. After rumbling through the entry rolls, St. Pete says "Sorry, you're not supposed to be here," and the poor engineer is sent to hell. Upon initial interogation in hell, he is found to be an engineer, and immediately put to work fixing all of the dilapidated areas. Couple of years later, hell is a paradise, with running water, air conditioning and other creature comforts. One day, during their monthly teleconference, the devil mentions something to god about the new nice conditions that are result of a scr*w up in heaven's admission system. God, furious about the situation says, "Engineers aren't supposed to go to hell. You better return the engineer to us, or I'll sue!". To which the devil replies, "and where in heaven are you going to find a lawyer?" :) LPB As the lawyer woke up from the anesthesia, he looked around the room and asked the doctor, "Why are all the blinds drawn?" "Virtue in the middle", said the Devil as he sat between two lawyers. Can we clone Congress? Posted by: Laurence Simon at June 18, 2003 06:28 PMWhy bother cloning Congress? Politicians reproduce by fission...just like the rest of the bacteria. Congress is already a bunch of clones. Its so refreshing and child friendly at the circus ... err Congress. If I cloned my wife would I be a POLYGAMIST? Simple minds want to know. If I cloned myself would I get more vacation?

Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at June 19, 2003 11:46 AMSusan Serin-D I DID get the Cat Diary and LOVED it. Isn't it EXACTLY what you'd expect YOUR cat to write?? (:~}) Here's another (copy/paste) cat link I promised you a few days ago: EXCUSE ME--Fr. Guido...You DO mean "Father", right? Quote:If I cloned myself would I get more vacation? ...and then if someone told you to go f--- yourself... |
