The bunny and the snake
Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived a blind little bunny and a blind little snake.
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. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, I don't even know what I am."
"It's quite okay," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is much the same as yours. I, too, have been blind since birth. 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," replied the bunny.
So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur; you have really long ears; 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.
The bunny suggested to the snake, "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 remarked, "Well, you're scaly and smooth, and you have a forked tongue, and no backbone. I'd say you must be either a politician, a lawyer, or possibly someone in upper management."
Bills
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their con-
versation was constantly interrupted by people describing
their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical
advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked
the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you
for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send
them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The
next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared
the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill
from the lawyer.
Rat Statue
A man was looking around a small gift shop when he came
across an amazingly ugly statue of a rat. As he was
staring at this statue, the shopkeeper came up to him
and began to speak.
'Sir, I couldn't help but notice your interest in the
statue. It's only five dollars, sir, but the story
behind it will cost you fifty.' The man turned back
around and looked in shock.
'Let me get this straight. If I buy the statue and
the story behind it, I'll be paying fifty-five dollars.
But if I can bear to live without the story, I'll
only pay five?'
The Shopkeeper grinned and nodded. Not believing what
a bargain he'd got, the man quickly paid and walked
out of the store. A few moments later, he noticed
that a lone rat was following him. He shrugged, and
ignored the rodent, hoping it would leave. When he
looked back again, some five minutes later, he saw
that the number of rodents had grown to maybe fifty
rats. A little nervous, he turned back to his path
and continued walking.
When he looked around the third time, he saw thousands
of rats following him. Horribly frightened, the man
rushed to a dock overlooking the ocean and threw the
statue as far out to sea as he possibly could. The
rats followed the statue, sinking into the waves
like stones.
The man then rushed back to the shop, elated, panicked,
and still in shock. When he burst through the door, the
shopkeeper gave a little chuckle. He had a smug grin on
his face as he said, 'I expect you've come back to buy
the story.' The shopkeeper held out his hand for the
fifty dollars. The customer looked confused for a second,
then said.
'Heck no! I wanna know if you've got a statue of a lawyer!'
For three years, the young attorney had been taking his brief vacations
at this country inn. The last time he'd finally managed an affair with the
innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged
his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short. There sat his
lover with an infant on her lap! "Helen, why didn't you write when you
learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we
could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!" "Well," she
said, "when my folks found out about my condition, we sat up all night
talkin' and talkin' and decided it would be better to have a bastard in the
family than a lawyer.
A pair of lawyers met for lunch to hash out their court differences. Ten
minutes into the meal, the prosecutor angrily pounded the table. "You're
lying!" he shouted.
"Of course I'm lying," the defendant's lawyer said, "but hear me out."
The other day a lawyer remarked to a friend, "I just finished a puzzle
and it only took me five months." "Five months?" her friend asked. "That
seems like an awfully long time to do a puzzle."
"Not at all," she explained. "The box says 6 to 12 years
Why is doing business with a lawyer almost like having sex while using a
condom? Because you enjoy a wonderful feeling of safety and security while
you know you're being screwed!
A lawyer and his attractive female client are in private consultation.
"Kiss me," she says.
"No," replies the attorney, "that would be unprofessional."
"Oh, please, just kiss me," she whispers.
"No, I can't. It would be a violation of professional ethics," the lawyer
says.
"Oh, I really want you to kiss me," she murmurs.
"No, I can't! Don't ask me to," says the lawyer. "I probably shouldn't even
be screwing you!"
Why does the law society prohibit sex between lawyers and their clients?
To prevent clients from being billed twice for essentially the same service.
What do lawyers and sperm have in common? Only one in two million ever
does anything worthwhile!
How does a pregnant woman know she is carrying a future lawyer? She has
an extreme craving for baloney.
God decided to take the devil to court and settle their differences once
and for all. When Satan heard this, he laughed and said, "And where do you
think you're going to find a lawyer?"
A lawyer was on his cell phone, calling a locksmith. "I locked my keys
in my sports car!" said the nervous lawyer. "No problem, I should be there
in about an hour," replied the locksmith. "Do you think you can make it a
little sooner?" pleaded the lawyer. "My top is down and it's starting to
rain."
A lawyer was filling out a job application when he came to the question:
"Have you ever been arrested?" He answered "no." The next question,
intended for those who answered the preceding question yes, was "why?"
Nevertheless, the lawyer answered it "Never got caught."
A man went to a brain surgeon to request a brain transplant. He noted
prices were different for brains available from various donors. A doctor's
brain was $500, a banker's brain was $1,500 and a scientist's brain was
$2,500. Then he noticed a brain in the far recesses of the room that had a
price tag of $50,000. When he inquired about the unusually high price, the
surgeon replied, "Oh, that's a lawyer's brain -- it's never been used!"
A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was
determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with you." After
much thought and consideration, the old ambulance-chaser finally figured out
how to take at least some of his money with him when he died. He instructed
his wife to go to the bank and withdraw enough money to fill two pillow
cases. He then directed her to take the bags of money to the attic and leave
them directly above his bed. His plan: When he passed away, he would reach
out and grab the bags on his way to heaven. Several weeks after the
funeral, the deceased lawyer's wife, up in the attic cleaning, came upon the
two forgotten pillow cases stuffed with cash. "Oh, that darned old fool,"
she exclaimed. "I knew he should have had me put the money in the basement."
