Lawyer Jokes
I had a lawyer friend in New Haven in the 1980s who was sensitive to the several lawyer jokes I related. But in all fairness to the profession he said to me "IF the day ever comes that you or anyone gets in deep, serious trouble with a civil or criminal lawsuit then you will be very glad to have a good lawyer on your side." And he is perfectly right. Lawyers are not an evil but rather a necessary good PRECISELY because "we the People" are a vicious, greedy, ruthless litigious society. I once saw someone slip slightly on a subway platform and the first words out of his mouth were "I will sue the City!"
