What do lawyers use for birth control?

Their personalities.

******

Why is a degree like a condom?

It's rolled up when you get it, it represents a lot of effort, and it's worthless the next day.

Know the difference between a tick and a lawyer? 
* A tick falls off of you when you die.

If you see a lawyer on a bicycle, why should you swerve to avoid hitting him?
* It might be your bicycle.

You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake and a lawyer. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do?
* You shoot the lawyer. Twice.


A man walked into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates... 

"$50.00 for three questions", replied the lawyer. 

"Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man.

"Yes," the lawyer replied, "and what was your third question?"

You're leaving your fate in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty

A lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his dismay, there were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. To his surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate and came down the long line to where the laywer was, and greeted him warmly.
Then St. Peter and one of his assistants took the lawyer by the hands and guided him up to the front of the line, and into a comfortable chair by his desk.

The lawyer said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me so special?"

St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours for which you billed your clients, and by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!"

"I have good news and bad news," the defense lawyer says to his client."

"What's the bad news?"

The lawyer says, "Your blood matches the DNA found at the murder scene."

"Dammit!" cries the client. "What's the good news?"

"Well," the lawyer says, "Your cholesterol is down to 140."

There was a lawyer and he was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You're beautiful!” and then he fell asleep again.

His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side.

A couple minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said “You're cute!”

Well, the wife was dissapointed because instead of “beautiful” it was “cute.”

She said “What happened to ‘beautiful’?

His reply was “The drugs are wearing off!”

The Hit and Run Case

A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore the door off of the driver's side. The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.

When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.

"I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."

"Ahhh!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex!"

Subject: jokes - check esp. the last one


These are from a book called Disorder in the Court.

These are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters-who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Some of these are excellent.

Can't really believe any of these are true, but here goes:

The Stella Awards

In 1994, a New Mexico jury awarded $ 2.9 million U.S. in damages to
81-year-old Stella Liebeck
who suffered third-degree burns to her legs, groin and buttocks after
spilling a cup of McDonald's
coffee on herself. This case inspired an annual award - The "Stella" Award
- for the most frivolous
lawsuit in the U.S. The ones listed below are clear candidates. All these
cases are verging on
the outright ridiculous and yet (in the good old USA) with the right
attorney you could win
anything!

1. January 2000: Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $780,000
by a jury of her
peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running
amuck inside a
furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at
the verdict,
considering the misbehaving little so and so was Ms. Robertson's son.

2. June 1998: A 19 year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and
medical expenses
when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman
apparently didn't
notice there was someone at the wheel of the car, when he was trying to
steal his neighbor's
hubcaps.

3. October 1998: A Terrence Dickson of Bristol Pennsylvania was leaving a
house he had just
finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage
door to go up,
because the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter
the house
because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it
shut. The
family was on vacation. Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for
eight days.
He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food.
Mr. Dickson
sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue
mental anguish.
The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars.

4. October 1999: Jerry Williams of Little Rock Arkansas was awarded $14,500
and medical
expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's
beagle. The beagle
was on a chain in it's owner's fenced-in yard, as was Mr. Williams. The
award was less than
sought because the jury felt the dog may have been provoked by Mr. Williams
who, at the
time, was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

5. May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of
Lancaster,
Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on soft drink and broke her coccyx.
The beverage
was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw it at her boyfriend 30 seconds
earlier during an
argument.

6. December 1997: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the
owner of a
night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to
the floor and
knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying
to sneak through
the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She
was
awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.

7. And just so you know that cooler heads do occasionally prevail: Kenmore
Inc., the makers
of Dorothy Johnson's microwave, were found not liable for the death of Mrs.
Johnson's poodle
after she gave it a bath and attempted to dry it by putting the poor
creature in her microwave for,
"just a few minutes, on low." The case was quickly dismissed.
