An investment counsellor went out on her own. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realised she needed an in-house counsel, so she began interviewing young lawyers.
As Im sure you can understand, she started off with one of the first applicants, in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question.
She leaned forward.
Mr. Peterson, are you an *honest* lawyer?
Honest?
replied the job prospect.
Let me tell you something about honesty. Why, Im so honest that my father lent me fifteen thousand dollars for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case.
Impressive….. And what sort of case was that?
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, He sued me for the money.

A farmer asked a friend to recommend an attorney to defend him against a charge of bestiality.
I know a great trial lawyer, the fellow said, but hes expensive and doesnt know how to pick a jury. I know another lawyer, he continued, whos not a great trial lawyer, but hes cheap and really knows how to pick a jury.
The farmer settled on the cheap attorney, but immediately had second thoughts when the key witness, a neighbour, began his testimony.
I saw Jed mount his goat from behind, he said, and when he was finished, I saw the goat turn around and lick Jeds pecker.
The accused farmer was devastated and had all but given up hope of acquittal when a juror in overalls whispered to the fellow next to him, You know, a good goat will do that.

A small, uncertain, and nervous witness was being cross-examined. The lawyer thundered, Have you ever been married?
Yes, sir, said the witness in a low voice.
Once.
Whom did you marry?
Well, a woman.
The lawyer said angrily, Of course you married a woman. Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a man?
And the witness said meekly, My sister did.

Scene: A court room in Oklahoma where a person is on trial for murder. There is strong evidence indicating guilt; however, there is no corpse.
In the defenses closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client is guilty and that it looks like hell probably be convicted, resorts to a clever trick.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all, the lawyer says as he looks at his watch. Within 1 minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this court room, he says and he looks toward the courtroom door. The jury, somewhat stunned, all look on eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.
Finally the lawyer says: Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty.
The jury, clearly confused, retires to deliberate.
A very few minutes later, the jury returns and a representative pronounces a verdict of guilty.
But how? inquires the lawyer. You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.
Answers the representative: Oh, we did look. But your client didnt.

A teacher was giving class lessons in morals and asked for examples.
Little Mary stood up and said,
My father is a chicken farmer and when we collect the eggs each morning, we take more than one basket, so you dont put all your eggs in one basket.
Very good, Mary, said the teacher. Any more morals?
Little Johnny stands up.
During the war, he says, my Uncle Charlie was alone in a fox-hole with a rifle and a bottle of whisky.
A whole German battalion was approaching him, so he had a big gulp of the whisky and fired all his bullets at the Germans, killing at least 100. He fell back into the fox-hole, took another large swig of whisky and ran out and used his bayonet and rifle butt to kill all the Germans left.
Thats very brave of your uncle, said the teacher, but wheres the moral to the story?
Well. said Johnny, You dont f*** around with Uncle Charlie when hes been on the piss.
