As a lawyer I can say its the grain of truth in these jokes that make them so funny.
A. Four. All the rest are true stories.
Always, always a fun read.
Did I mention “always”?
As a lawyer I give a lot to charities but United Way is not one of those.

A dying man gathered his lawyer, doctor and clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.
A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell.
By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness.
The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergyman’s sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others.
By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. “I am the only one who kept his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000.”

A play on some Latin words from: "The Order of Mass." (The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite) or more commonly known as a Latin Catholic Mass.
As he walked along the street, he passed a sewer grate, and a rat jumped out and began following him. He walked faster, and faster, but every time he passed an alley, sewer, or garbage can more rats would jump out and follow him. Soon he was running, with dozens of rats right behind. Frightened, he ran out on a nearby causeway, and in the middle he threw the brass rat over the edge. The rats jumped over as well, and drowned in the ocean.
The man ran back to the store, and went inside, breathless. The owner looked at him and said: "I knew you'd be back for the rest of the story."
"He!! no!", he replied, "I want to buy a brass lawyer!"
