Time for more attorney jokes
Or we could just wait until the next law school graduation. There'll be plenty of new jokes created then.
Four attorneys means a lot of hot air...and i could use some hot air right about now!
Time for more attorney jokes
Actually, isn't the joke on land surveyors ?
It seems the attorneys are making $s from something that should be in control of surveyors.

In 1975 an attorney was the speaker at an event, the entire conversation consisted of only one sentence and a meaning.
The attorney kept talking and took that one sentence and turned words around into an unknown number of sentences and their meanings.
Before an hour or so, I retired to the bar at the brewery and was soon welcomed my about 1/3 of the attendees.
The speaker gave up about an hour later and stormed out without finishing his talk.
Attorney times four,
[sarcasm]OMG, how long can they talk and say nothing new.[/sarcasm]
Attorneys with few words and quick thinking too
I went to a LSPS conference in the 90’s once held in Lafayette. At the luncheon in the banquet hall, I sat at a round table awaiting some good Cajun food. To my surprise, I sat at the table reserved for the LSPS hosts and speakers. One was an attorney who gave a presentation that day. During the meal, one of the Lafayette surveyors was talking about civil tort cases and monetary awards. He mentioned a case where a plaintiff received $1 million. He rhetorically asked the table “Do you know how much $ 1 million is?” The attorney responded without hesitation...” No, but I know what 33 1/3% of One Million dollars is”
I use to like a good attorney joke as much as anyone but then they all started becoming hackneyed to me.
During Katrina, I gained a respect for lawyers. I had evacuated our family to Hot Springs, Arkansas and stayed at one of our favorite hotels, the Arlington. The storm passed the city but then the floodwalls and levees failed and the disastrous flooding occurred.
One of the guests there that I met was a very prominent criminal defense lawyer in New Orleans. He defended the worst type of clients if you know what I mean. Murderers, major drug dealers etc. You would see him on the evening news all the time.
That day in a flash, his whole life drastically changed. No home, no business, No practice etc.
When I saw him that evening by the pool on the 7th floor, he was relieved. That day, he had secured a job as a realtor that provided his family with a free condo to live on Lake Hamilton. He also got his kid into the best private school in Hot Springs. Needless to say, I was very impressed.
