Description
Question. How many lawyer jokes are in existence?
Answer. Only 3. All the rest are true stories.
Jokes about lawyers - prolific, terrible, hilarious, cruel - this book's full of them.
A 35-year-old lawyer dropped dead. He reached the Pearly Gates very angry and told St Peter: "This is unfair. I'm only 35. I'm much too young to die." St Peter frowned: "35 is young. I'll go and see if there has been a mistake." The saint came back a few minutes later: "No mistake. You say you are 35 but according to the hours you 've billed, you must be at least 110."
But why are there so many? Why do we find them so funny?
It used to be the Irish. Or blondes. Or Aborigines.
I had an accident this morning when I dropped my mirror. I know that means I will get seven years bad luck, but I just spoke to my lawyer and she thinks she can get me only four.
Why is it lawyers today? Why does nobody defend them?
Has it always been so?
Stan Ross fills pages with joke after joke as he ponders why.
