Taking his seat in chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. “I have been presented by both of you with a bribe,” the judge bagan. Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. “You, Attorney Leoni, gave me $15,000. And you, ASttorney Campos, gave me $10,000.”
The judge reached in his pocket a pulled out a check, which he handed to Leoni. “Now, then, I’m returning $5,000, and we are going to decide this case solely on its merits.”
You’ve probably heard this one before, but with over a dozen Blonds in the Clan....
A blonde and lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, very tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over toward the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists (as lawyers are wont to do) and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He says, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00 and vice versa.”
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $500.00.”
This catches the blonde’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to the torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question, “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches in her purse, pulls out a $5 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
“Okay,” says the lawyer, “your turn.”
She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?”
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and Library of Congress, still no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to all his friends and coworkers, all to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde says, “Thank you,” and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the blonde reaches in her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
