Oh oh! Here's the oldest (and best) lawyer joke in the book:

How can you tell a lawyer is lying?

His lips are moving!  ;D ;D

I  read a newspaper artice somewhere that a guy was actually sued for slander by a lawyer because he overheard him making this joke!! I don't know if it's true or just an urban myth, but to be honest, it wouldn't really surprise me! ;)

What's the difference between a lawyer and a shark?
The shark is a fish.............

What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?

One's a bottom feeding scum sucker and the other one's a fish. ;D

Seems as we have to open a new subfolder under "I need humor..." dedicated to this kind of people. Looks like there are more problems going on with lawyers than law!  :)

Happy: Laws were origingally made to protect innocent people etc. but some lawyers have made a bad name for the profession by using dirty tricks to twist justice by using the words of the law where it's clear for even normal people that the meaning of the law was perverted by using the letter of the law (I hope I explained that well). Not all laws are fair I know, but at least in this part of the world the idea behind is good but many people, also non-lawyers try to bend the law even if it allows dangerous/immoral acts that was what the law originally intended to prevent. For instance I heard of eveidence like drugs etc. found in trunks of cars in USA but the evidence was thrown out of court since there wasn't probable cause to demand the trunk opend. I understand the principle of privacy when nothing illegal/immoral is going on, but the evidence was clearly there! I hope those are just urban myths because that was just awfull.

I hope that cleared it, there are good lawyers too, it's the 98 bad one that makes it bad for the good 2, percent ROFL (ok that was a joke-ending to a serious statement, I think/hope the ratio is actually the opposite).

Frank, I can easily see your point of view.....What you say about evidence found and people being acquitted, it's not urban myth, it's reality: it happens everyday and everywhere and will always happen........Law and justice, sadly, do not mean the same thing.
