That’s a good one and the best so far. 🤣

I don't know any "good" lawyer jokes, but the fact that we have such a huge legal system in this country probably says more about our society and culture than the attorneys and lawyers and the legal sector. The need and use of lawyers to me speaks more about how our culture functions then how good or bad lawyers are. Also under the bill or rights we are all entitled to prove our innocence even if we don't have the funds to pay for the legal services.
The legal system is also not the only sector that argues either side of the coin. I have sold enough fur or worked with enough agents and commission reps to know that.

"Well, you see," the man in the suit says, climbing back aboard, "I'm a lawyer."

"Professional courtesy."

Well done Jim, well done indeed!

Man, you lawyers sure do like to talk a lot. That joke was like having someone ask you to come along with them on a 4 mile walk just to look at a dog turd.
Not enough money to be made in comedy I reckon. smile

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, “Um, no.”

The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
“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?”

smile I just spit all over the place after choking on it for a minute.

I hear animal testing labs are replacing lab rats with lawyers because there are some things a rat just won't do.

The pope, a famous TV evangelist, and a lawyer all die at the same moment, and find themselves in the heavenly elevator together and getting off on the top floor.

Saint Peter greets them at the pearly gates, and looks up their names in his book.

"I have just the place for you sir," he says to the lawyer. "Your residence is on the hill over there." He points to a fabulous mansion on a hill.

Just then a parade arrives, and a group of celebrants pick the lawyer up and carry him off, trumpets blowing, people shouting and waving their arms.

"Oh, boy!" The pope whispers to the evangelist. "If they treat a lawyer this good, imagine what they have in store for us."

The evangelist laughs and nudges the pope in the ribs. "I wonder how many television sets I'll get in my mansion?"

Saint Peter says, "Gentlemen, I'll lead you to your abodes." There is no parade to welcome them. The people they pass on the streets don't greet them. Saint Peter leads them into poorer and poorer sections of Heaven, until they reach the slums. He points to a pair of filthy little hovels side by side, and says, "There is where you shall reside for eternity."

"But, but, but," says the pope.

Excuse me," the evangelist says. "There's obviously some mistake. This here is the pope, and me, I have people sending my ministry hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. That other guy got a mansion and a parade, and we get this?"

"No mistake," Saint Peter says. "Popes and evangelists are a dime a dozen up here in Heaven. But that guy was the first lawyer who ever made it."

You know Bryce, the more I read your posts, the more I believe you've got a great trapper's bag set up.
You just seem to set on location quite often here on Tmanville and you really read sign well.

Lawyers? My pops is a retired attorney. Banctrupcy in the day is what he did.
Pops always said as soon as people start handling their financial affairs better, he'd be outta a job.
Pops was slam busy for 40+ years.

When do we start the "We the People" jokes? wink

Blessings,
Mark

I have to admit I embellished the jokes a bit from the versions I first heard. They could have been told in half as many words.

I'll try to recall another one.

An engineer dies and catches the elevator up to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter checks in his Book, gives a stern look to the engineer, and says, “Your name isn't here. Obviously, you’re in the wrong place.”

So the engineer takes the elevator all the way to the basement. He finds himself walking down a long, dark corridor. The air is much too hot and reeks of sulphur and sewage gas. At the end of the corridor are two gates leaking flames between their cracks. A small demon on a stool, throws open the gates, and says, "This way, sir," in a surly voice, and hops back up on his stool. The engineer hears the demon giggling behind him, then the gates clang shut.

Time passes, and the engineer grows dissatisfied with the level of comfort in (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, LED lighting, and escalators, and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks, “So, how’s it going down there in (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)?”

Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, LED lighting, and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”

God says, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have gotten down there. Send him up here.”

Satan says, “No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.”

God says, “Send him back up here--or I’ll sue!”

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”
