| A lawyer is speaking to his son about ethics.
"Suppose son, that one day a gentleman comes into my office with a simple question. Upon answering the man's question, I charge him $100.00. He is outraged at the bill for such a simple question but agrees to pay. The man reaches in his wallet and
grabs a hundred dollar bill and thrusts the money into my hand. Upon his leaving, I notice that the man has, in fact, given me two $100.00 bills.
Now the ethical question: Do I share that money with my partner?"

| The madam opened the brothel door to see a frail, elderly gentleman.
"Can I help you?" the madam asked.
"I want Natalie," the old man replied.
"Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies, perhaps someone else..."
"No, I must see Natalie."
Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the old man that she charged $1,000 per visit. Without blinking, the man reached into his pocket and handed her ten $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour, whereafter the man calmly left.
The next night he appeared again demanding to see Natalie. Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row and that there were discounts...it was still $1,000 a visit. Again the old man took out the money, and the two went up to
the room. An hour later, he left.
When he showed up the third consecutive night, no one could believe it. Again he handed Natalie the money and up to the room they went. At the of the hour, Natalie questioned the old man: "No one has ever used my services three nights in a row.
Where are you from?"
The old man replied, "I'm from Philadelphia."
"Really?" replied Natalie. "I have family who live there."
"Yes, I know," said the old man. "Your father died, and I'm your mother's attorney. She asked me to give this $3,000 to you."
Some things in life are certain: Taxes, death, and being screwed by an attorney.

| An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint
Peter checks his dossier and says, "You're an engineer, you're in the wrong place."
So the engineer reports to the Gates of Hell and is welcomed. Soon, the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell; he begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets,
and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan and says with a sneer, "So, how are things in Hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. And, there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
"What! You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have been sent to Hell... send him to me."
"Not a chance! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him!"
God insists, "Send him back or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?"

| A dad walks into a market followed by his ten-year-old son.
The kid is spinning a 25 cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat. He immediately
starts choking, going blue in the face, and Dad starts panicking, shouting for help.
A well dressed middle-aged, moderately attractive but serious woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup
down on the saucer, neatly folds her newspaper and places it on the counter. Then she gets up from her seat and makes her unhurried way across the market.
Reaching the boy, the woman carefully takes hold of the boy's testicles and squeezes gently at first and then ever more firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the 25 cent piece, which the woman deftly catches in her
free hand. Releasing the boy, the woman hands the coin to the father and walks back to her seat in the
coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill-effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts effusively thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before-it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?"
"Good heavens, no," the woman replies. "I am a Divorce Attorney."

| Three paramedics were boasting about improvements in their team's response times.
"Since we installed our new satellite navigation system," bragged the first one, "we cut our emergency response time by ten percent."
The other paramedics nodded in approval. "Not bad," the second paramedic commented. "But by using a computer model of traffic patterns, we've cut our average ERT by 20 percent."
Again, the other team members gave their congratulations, until the third paramedic said, "That's nothing! Since our ambulance driver passed the bar exam, we've cut our emergency response time in half!"

| After dozens of very expensive tests and weeks of hospitalization . . .
. . . the rich old man was told he had only 24 hours to live. He immediately called his two lawyers to his room. He asked them to each stand by one side of his bed.
After standing for some time, the first lawyer asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing. Just stand there."
A while later, the second lawyer asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing. Just stand there."

| A lawyer named Mr. Strange was shopping for a tombstone.
After he had made his selection, the stonecutter asked him what inscription he would like on it.
"Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the lawyer.
"Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stonecutter. "In this state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave."
Mr. Strange was not amused by the stonecutter's attempt at humor and asked if he had another suggestion.
The stonecutter said, "I could write, 'Here lies an honest lawyer'."
The lawyer protested, "But that won't tell people who it was."
"It most certainly will," retorted the stonecutter. "People will read, 'Here lies an honest lawyer' and exclaim, 'That's Strange!'"

| A minister and lawyer were chatting at a party:
"What do you do if you make a mistake on a case?" the minister asked.
"Try to fix it if it's big; ignore it if it's insignificant," replied the lawyer.
"What do you do?"
The minister replied, "Oh, more or less the same. Let me give you an example. The other day I meant to say 'the devil is the father of liars,' but instead I said 'the devil is the father of lawyers,' so I let it go."

| Once upon a time, in a nice little forest . . .
. . . there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. As a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth.
One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down, also knocking the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh, my," said the bunny. "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. You see, I've been blind since birth, so I can't see where I'm going; and, in fact, since I'm also an orphan, don't even know what I am."
"Quite okay," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is much the same as yours, as I am also blind since birth and also never knew my mother. Tell you what, maybe I could kinda slither over you and figure out what you are, so at least you'll have that going for you."
"Oh, that would be wonderful," said the bunny. So the snake slithered all over the bunny and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur, and you have really long ears, and your nose twitches, and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" cried the bunny in obvious excitement."
Maybe I could feel you with my paw and help you the same way you've helped me."
So the bunny felt the snake all over, and said, "Well, you're scaly and slimy, you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be either a politician or an attorney.

Materialism: Exhibit A:
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 off the door on the driver's side. The lawyer 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."
"My God!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?"

| A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial - it went like this:
Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?
A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.
Q. Officer, who provided this description?
A. The officer who responded to the scene.
Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?
A. Yes sir, with my life.
Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a locker room in the police station - a room where you change your clothes in preparation for you daily duties?
A. Yes sir, we do.
Q. And do you have a locker in that room?
A. Yes sir, I do.
Q. And do you have a lock on your locker?
A. Yes sir.
Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers?
A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.
With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best come-back" line and we think he'll win.

| A lawyer dies in a car accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. . .
. . .. A brass band is playing, the Angels are singing a beautiful hymn, there is a huge crowd cheering and shouting his name and absolutely everyone wants to shake his hand. Just when he thinks things can't possibly get any better, Saint Peter
himself runs over, apologizes for not greeting him personally at the pearly gates, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations son, we've been waiting a long time for you!"
Totally confused and a little embarrassed, the attorney sheepishly looks at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I tried to lead a God fearing life, I loved my family, I tried to obey the 10 Commandments, but congratulations for what? I honestly don't
remember doing anything really special when I was alive."
"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter, totally amazed at the man's modesty. "We're celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old! God himself wants to see you!"
The lawyer is awestruck and can only look at Saint Peter with his mouth agape. When he regains his power of speech, he looks up at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I lived my life in the eternal hope that when I died I would be judged by God and
be found to be worthy, but I only lived to be forty."
"That's simply impossible son," says Saint Peter. "We've added up your time sheets."

| As reported in the Massachusetts Bar Association Lawyers Journal, this is a line of questioning that actually occurred:
Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
Doctor: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
Doctor: "No."
"Did you check for breathing?"
"No." "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
"No."
"How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
"Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
"But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"
"It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."
