Q: How many lawyer jokes are there?
A: Only three. The rest are true stories.
Ha! Ha!
A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen lawyers.
The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the lawyers would call the pound on the dog, he went over and asked “What are you doing with that dog?”
One of the lawyers replied, “This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog.”
Of course, the reverend was taken aback. “You lawyers shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!” he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, “Don’t any of you lawyers know it’s a sin to lie,” and ending with, “Why, since I was ordained, I never told a lie.”
There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the oldest lawyer in the group gave a deep sigh and said, “All right, give him the dog.”
