A tough case was being argued in court. The defense attorney, feeling that he was in trouble, sent the judge a bottle of hundred-year old brandy. The defendant was fit to be tied.
- The judge'll kill me. Trying to bribe him! We're dead!
- I don't think so - his attorney told him.
- I sent it in the other lawyer's name!
A man walks into a friend and sees that his friend's car is total loss and covered with leaves, grass, branches, dirt and blood. He asks his friend:
- What's happened to your car?
- Well - the friend responses.
- I ran into a lawyer.
- OK - says the man.
- that explains the blood... But what about the leaves, the grass, the branches and the dirt?
- Well, I had to chase him all through the park.
An old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer:
- I want to become a lawyer. How much is it or the express degree you told me about?
- It's $50,000 - the lawyer said.
- But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a lawyer?
- That's my business! Get me the course!
Four days later, the old man got his law degree. His lawyer was at his bedside, making sure his bill would be paid.
Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said:
- please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to to get a law degree so badly before you died?
In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said:
- One less lawyer . . .
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says:
- I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'
- But why? - asks the man.
- I'm a divorce lawyer - the man replies.

It seems that a devout, good couple was about to get married, but a tragic car accident ended their lives. When they got to heaven, they asked St. Peter if he could arrange for them to get married, saying that it was what they had hoped for in life, and they still desired wedded union. He thought about it and agreed, but said they would have to wait.
It was almost one hundred years later when St. Peter sent for them. They were married in a simple ceremony. So things went on, for thirty years or so, but they determined, in this time, that eternity was best not spent together.
They went back to St. Peter, and said:
- We thought we would be happy forever, but now we believe that we have irreconcilable differences. Is there any way we can get divorced?
- Are you kidding? - said St. Peter.
- It took me a hundred years to get a priest up here to marry you. I will never get a lawyer!

A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.
The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
- 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?
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied:
- First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled:
- Um...no.
- -or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted:
- -or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident - the lawyer's voice rising in indignation.
- leaving her penniless with three children?
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply:
- I had no idea...
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again:
- -so if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?
