Jokes on attorneys 7. 7. 1997

I recently got these jokes on lawyers from a corporate lawyer from Latin America. She added the following introductiry note:

NO ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON LOS CHISTES, PERO ESTAN MUY BUENOS!
I don't agree with these jokes, but they are very good!

It was followed by the notes of her colleague and the person who sent him the jokes:

Estimada ...:
Buenos di'as. Aqui' te mando estos chistes de abogados que, aunque se "pasean" en nuestra reputacio'n, me parecen excelentes.
Saludos, ...
Good day. Here I sent you the following jokes on attorneys. Though they "blaken" our reputation, they seem to me excellent.

HOLA SAPRISISTA
TENGO QUE ESTAR LOCO POR MANDAR ESTE MENSAJE AL DEPARTAMENTO LEGAL. LA PROXIMA VEZ ME VAN A RECIBIR CON UN PIT BULL EN LA ENTRADA.
SALUDOS
I am afraid it's a crazy idea to send this to the Legal Department. Next time I may be received there by a pitt bull waiting for me at the entrance.

They have good sense of humour, over there, don't they?
I do not speak Spanish, that's why I left the original notes here in case my translation is not good enough. The jokes were in English:

Why does the law prohibit sex between lawyers and their clients?
To prevent clients from being billed twice for essentially the same service.

What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead attorney in the road?
There are skid marks in front of the dog.

Why are lawyers like nuclear weapons?
Because if one side has one, the other side has to get one. Then, once they are launched, they cannot be recalled, and when they land, they screw up everything forever.

What do lawyers have in common with sperm?
Only one in 20 million has a chance of becoming a human being.

Did you hear that the post office had to recall a recent stamp release?
The stamps had pictures of lawyers on them and people couldn't figure out which side to spit on.

The "Lawyers Creed": A man is innocent until proven broke.

What can a goose do, that a duck cannot do, that a lawyer should do?
Stick his bill up his ass.

What's the difference between a female attorney and a pit bull?
Lipstick.

What do you call 20 lawyers skydiving from an airplane?
Skeet!

What do you get when you cross a bad politician with a crooked lawyer?
Chelsea!

It was soooo cold last winter. (How Cold Was IT?)
I saw a lawyer with his hands in his OWN pockets!

Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest attorney and a policeman were sitting at a table that had a $100 bill on it. The lights suddenly went out. When they came back on, the money was gone. Who took it?
Obviously it was the policeman, because the other three are mythical beings.

Say that you're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake and an attorney. You have a gun, but only two bullets. What should you do?
Shoot the attorney twice.

A truck driver had a habit of running over attorneys whenever he would see one walking along the road. One day he saw a priest who's car had broken down and needed a lift. He decided to do a good turn and pick up the priest. He asked the priest, "Where are you headed, Father?" The priest replied, "I would like to go about another five miles to the church." "No problem, Father! I would be happy to give you a lift, hop on in the truck." Just after picking up the priest, the trucker saw a lawyer walking along the road. He immediately started to swerve over to hit him. At the last second, he remembered the priest was with him, so he swerved back - narrowly missing the lawyer. However, even though he was certain he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud THUMP! He turned to the priest and asked him what happened. The priest replied, "I could see you were going to miss him, so I got him with the door."

A man was walking along the beach when he saw a beautiful bottle wash onto the shore. He picked it up and opened it. With a rushing sound, a genie swooshed out and thanked him for the rescue. He offered the man three wishes, with the caveat that every attorney in the world would get each of the same wishes, except twice as much. The man's first wish was for 10 million dollars. The genie gave him a Swiss bank account and assured the man that 10 million was legally deposited in it. "But remember" said the genie, "every lawyer in the world just got 20 million." "That's OK replied the man. For my second wish, I want a new red Ferrari." "Done!" stated the genie. "But every attorney in the world just got two of them." After a little thought, the man explained his third wish, "I want to donate one of my kidneys for a transplant."
