MEPSTEAD, N.Y. - Did you hear the one about the two guys arrested for telling lawyer jokes?
It happened this week to the founders of a group called Americans for Legal Reform, who were waiting in line to get into a Long Island courthouse.
“How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?” Harvey Kash reportedly asked Carl Lanzisera.
“His lips are moving,” they said in unison.
While some waiting to get into the courthouse giggled, a lawyer farther up the line Monday was not laughing.

Title: Tell a lawyer joke, go to jail?
Sounds like the Seinfeld "anti-Dentite" episode.
Lawyers just hate it when we 'simpletons' mock them, don't they?
****Dan Bagnuola, a spokesman for the Nassau County courts, said the men were “being abusive and they were causing a disturbance.” He said he did not have the name of the lawyer who complained.****
I thought in America a man had a right to face his accuser.. How can the cops arrest people on a complaint and not produce the complainant.
We're not mocking them, we're simply stating a fact.
The trouble with lawyer jokes is that the lawyers don't think they're funny, and no one else thinks they're jokes !
He's a hypocrite if he uses a lawyer, and a fool if he doesn't.
lol, what's the difference between a lawyer and a catfish???
One is a scum sucking bottom dweller, and the other is a fish.
I was told that by a lawyer...
First lawyer joke I ever heard.
What is the difference between a tick and a lawyer?
Answer- A tick falls off when you die.
To go along with this, I like the photo of a button that says: "I sleep like a Democrat: first I lie on one side, and then I lie on the other side."
Not necessarily, as codified by section 1.2.3.852@9932.5522
If an attorny is hacked off he can report someone. It is called Bogus.Reportus.
ROFLMAO!
I nominate this as "Quote of the Day".
Same thing occurred to me. I don't see how they can be convicted for disorderly conduct unless the witness to their behavior appears to testify.
Come on now folks,
Let's hear your worst and best lawyer jokes.
You know like:what is lower then whale poop? A lawyer.
'Doctor brains $8.00 a pound
'Nurses brains $30.00 a pound
'Lawyer brains $90.00 a pound'
So he goes and asks the guy, 'why to doctor brains cost $8.oo a pound while lawyer brains cost $90?'
The guy says 'are you kidding? Do ytou know how many lawyers it takes to make a pound of brains?'
Q. What happens when a lawyer takes Viagra?
A. He grows taller.
From the devil's thoughts —
He saw a lawyer smite a viper
On a dunghill in a stable.
The devil laughed for it put him in mind
Of Cain and his brother, Abel.
A lawyer is a man who induces two men to strip down for a fight and then runs off with their clothes.
This reminds me of a drunken declaration given to me by a very famous lawyer in the Philippines when he saw me having dinner in a restaurant (we knew each other for several months prior to this incident).
He put his arm around me and said, "Remember Elder Watson, a lawyer is a liar!"
He then roared with laughter and I, naturally laughed heartily with him. I guessed he just won another case...
