Reminds Me Of A Lawyer I Once Knew
I know much nicer attorneys these days!
One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.
"But sir. I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered th e car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost a foot high!"

NOT ENOUGH SAND.
Sorry if I offended any lawyers. NOT!!! The world would be a much better place WITHOUT ANY OF YOU A** HOLES.
Posted by: Craig at April 26, 2004 08:20 PMThey're not that bad! Not all of them. I happen to know some very NICE lawyers who are genuinely great people.
This joke just reminded me of one particularly nasty lawyer I ran into about two years ago.
Posted by: Da Goddess at April 26, 2004 08:23 PMI happen to live with a lawyer who is the kindest, most gracious person I've ever met, as Joanie will attest to. (Right, J?)
Of course there are many lawyers who SUCK, just like there are many non-lawyers who suck. In my book, there are only two types of people: assholes and non-assholes. And not all of the latter fall into the lawyer category.
Damn. I meant "former", not "latter". Oh well. I'd say "Sue me", but that would require the hiring of lawyers.

Posted by: Velociman at April 26, 2004 09:16 PMI once knew an advanced law student; he was a waiter at my bar.He's now doing what he whished to do - Entertianment Law (in Houston)
When we sat on a curb, after closing one night, he told me why he went into law :"Have you ever played 'The Game of Life'?I chose to pursue this field of work because I wanted to be one of the 'few' people that understood what the rules meant!"
This has disturbed me ever since...
