The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely." "Then you owe me £6.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for £6.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves. Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer amounting to £100 for the consultation fee.

· A very wealthy lawyer vacationed for several weeks every year at his summer home in the backwoods of Maine. In the summertime, he would invite friends to come to visit him. One summer he invited a lawyer friend from Czechoslovakia to visit. The friend, eager to see how a wealthy Scot spent his holidays, gratefully agreed. They had a wonderful vacation, and spent a great deal of time exploring the woods and enjoying the natural setting. One morning, as the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian friend were walking through the woods, two huge bears, a male and a female, approached them. The Scots lawyer noticed them in time to run for cover. His friend, however, was not so lucky. The male bear reached him and swallowed him whole. Seeing this, the lawyer ran to his Mercedes and sped for the nearest town to get the local sheriff. The sheriff grabbed a high-powered rifle and they both raced back to the berry patch. Luckily, the bears were still there. "He's in THAT one!" cried the lawyer, pointing at the male bear that had consumed his friend. "Quick - shoot it. Maybe we can still save my friend!" The sheriff looked at the bears, levelled his gun, took careful aim, and shot the female. His aim was true, and the female bear collapsed to the ground. The startled male fled into the woods. "Why did you do that?" demanded the lawyer, "I said he was in the other bear!" "Exactly," replied the sheriff. "Would YOU believe a lawyer who told you the Czech was in the male?

As he was being taken to his place of torment – the rack that was to stretch him in agony for ever- he passed a side-room where a lawyer was being intimately entertained by a young woman. She was pandering to his every whim. “This is unfair,” said the dead man. “Why have I got to spend eternity stretched on a rack among flames while the lawyer spends all eternity with that beautiful woman?” The Devil prodded him with his pitchfork. “Silence,” he snarled. “Who are you to question that woman’s punishment?”

· A lawyer, cross-examining the local coroner, queried, "Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the man's pulse?" "No," the coroner replied. "Well, then, did you listen for a heart beat?" The coroner answered, "No." "Did you check for respiration? Breathing?", asked the lawyer. Again the coroner replied, "No." "Ah," the lawyer said, "so when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?" The coroner rolled his eyes, and shot back, "Counsellor, at the time I signed the death certificate, the man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk. But I can see your point. For all I know he could be out there practising law somewhere."

The lawyer from Scotland?"  "Yes," the lawyer answered.  "Let me check the records," said St Peter. He slapped his hand against his forehead.  "Oh, how silly of us.  Now I see the mistake!   We accidentally calculated your age by adding up the hours you billed your clients!"

I kick you three times and if you can get back on your feet and kick me three times, the duck is yours.” The lawyer, reckoning he could kick far harder than the farmer, said: “Fair enough.” So the farmer kicked him once on the knee, then in the ribs, and finally in the groin. “All right,” groaned the lawyer, stumbling back to his feet, “now it’s my turn.” “Oh forget it,” said the farmer. “You can keep the duck.”

He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. You've become a huge disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a hot-shot lawyer, when you haven't the brains to realize you will never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you, alright." The prosecuting lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence lawyer?" She replied, "Why, of course I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, also, is a real disappointment. He's lazy, bigoted, never has a nice word to say about anybody, and he drinks like a fish. He's been divorced five times, and everybody knows that his law practice is one of the shoddiest and corrupt in the entire country. Yes, I know him too, alright." The judge rapped his gavel, to silence the tittering spectators in the courtroom gallery. Once the room was silent, he called both attorneys to his bench. In a quiet, menacing voice, he warned, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt!"

· A snake and a rabbit were racing along a pair of intersecting forest pathways one day, when they collided at the intersection. They immediately began to argue with one another as to who was at fault for the mishap. When the snake remarked that he had been blind since birth, and thus should be given additional leeway, the rabbit said that he, too, had been blind since birth. The two animals then forgot about the collision and began commiserating concerning the problems of being blind. The snake said that his greatest regret was the loss of his identity. He had never been able to see his reflection in the water, and for that reason did not know exactly what he looked like, or even what he was. The rabbit declared that he had the same problem. Seeing a way that they could help each other, the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from head to toe, and then try to describe what the other animal was. The snake agreed, and started by winding himself around the rabbit. After a few moments, he announced, "You've got very soft, fuzzy fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a bunny rabbit!" The rabbit was much relieved to find his identity, and proceeded to return the favour to the snake. After feeling about the snake's body for a few minutes, he asserted, "Well, you're scaly, you're slimy, you've got beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all the time, and you've got a forked tongue. I think you must be a lawyer!"

The witness still did not respond. Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question." "Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."
