Two guys were arrested for telling lawyer jokes. No word who they called with their one phone call.
For a lawyer to actually go out of their way to have two old guys arrested because of some lame jokes that lawyer has an inflated sense of who he is and his actual role in the world. Worse, what does it say about how he views his fellow man?
In my little world, I joke about engineers, salespeople, quality engineers, ISO auditors, customers, technical support, customer service, human resources and the like. Humor, after all, is what stops us from believing and acting on Sarte's statement, "Hell is other people." (Let's face it, Jean-Paul's not a funny guy either.) Humor allows us to move past the irritation of our fellow human beings. As Jane Austen put it better, "For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?"
Before we follow Shakespeare and kill all the lawyers, here are some of the lines that got our friends in trouble:
Q: What do you say to a lawyer with an IQ of 50?
A: Good morning, Your Honor.
Q: How do you tell if a lawyer is lying?
A: His lips are moving.
Q: Why do they bury lawyers 100 feet into the ground?
A: Because down deep, they're good people.
Q: What's the difference between a vulture and a lawyer?
A: Wing tips.
