A young lawyer, starting up his private practice, was very anxious to impress potential clients. When he saw the first visitor to his office come through the door, he immediately picked up his phone and spoke into it, "I am sorry, but my workload is so tremendous that I am not going to be able to look into your problem for at least a month. I shall have to get back to you then." He then turned to the man who had just walked in, and said, "Now, what can I do for you?" "Nothing," replied the man. "I am here to hook up your phone."

The lawyer replied:
- Of course, how much was the roast?
- $7.98.
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read:

The farmer said:
- There might be a problem. You see, I only have room for two to sleep, one of you must sleep in the barn.
- No problem - spoke the Rabbi.
- My people wandered in the desert for forty years. I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for an evening.
With that he departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night.
Moments later a knock was heard at the door. The farmer opened the door, and there stood the Rabbi from the barn. - What's wrong - asked the farmer.

- Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled:
- Um...no.
- -or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?
Scene: A court room in Oklahoma where a person is on trial for murder. There is strong evidence indicating guilt; however, there is no corpse. In the defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like he'll probably be convicted, resorts to a clever trick.
The lawyer says as he looks at his watch:
- Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all
- Within 1 minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this court room - he says and he looks toward the courtroom door.
The jury, somewhat stunned, all look on eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens. Finally the lawyer says:

An older woman was in the pastoral study counceling for her upcoming fourth wedding.
- Father - she said - How am I going to tell my husband that I am still a virgin?
- My child, you have been a married woman for many years. Surely that cannot be - he replied.
- Well Father, my first husband was a psychologist, and all he wanted to do was talk. The next one was in construction and he always said he'd get to it tomorrow.

A lawyer named Strange died, and his friend asked the tombstone maker to inscribe on his tombstone, "Here lies Strange, an honest man, and a lawyer." The inscriber insisted that such an inscription would be confusing, for passersby would tend to think that three men were buried under the stone. However he suggested an alternative: He would inscribe, "Here lies a man who was both honest and a lawyer." That way, whenever anyone walked by the tombstone and read it, they would be certain to remark: "That's Strange!"

The guy answers:
- A scotch, please
