distance from the mainland. The problem is, the water is full of sharks.
The priest volunteers to swim to the mainland for help, but he is eaten by the sharks.
Same with the rabbi.
Finally the lawyer starts swimming and arrives at the mainland.
Someone who had observed all this asked him, "How come the sharks let you through unharmed?"
"Professional courtesy," the lawyer answered.

A man dies, goes to heaven, and St. Peter shows him around.

There are huge apartment complexes. The man asks who they are for. St. Peter explains: "This is where the doctors are." A few miles on is another immense apartment complex, "this one is for the educators." A few miles further: "This is where the scholars are." A few miles further on is a wonderful immaculate single mansion with an immaculate garden and swimming pool.

"Who is that for?" asks the new arrival. "That is a lawyer." The man asks, "how come he gets his own place?" St. Peter replies, "he's the only one we've ever had."

I really shouldn't be involved on this thread. My younger daughter is an attorney, and the youngest person ever to make partner in her international law firm (at age 31).

Engineer dies and gets sent to Hell. Guy likes to keep busy and use his skills around the place. Sets hell up with air conditioning, a pool, all sorts of amenities.

God gets word of the upgrades going on down below and gives Satan a call.

God: "I've changed my mind; send the engineer up my way."

Satan: "Nothing doing. You sent him down; he stays."

God: [stammering] "Well, if you don't send him back. . . I'll--I'll SUE you!"

Satan: [chuckling] "Where are you going to find a lawyer?"

A guy goes into an antique shop in San Francisco. He notices a medallion marked not for sale and really wants it. The antique dealer tries to talk the guy out of buying it, but the guy offers him $10,000.00, which the dealer can't turn down.

So the guy is walking down the street toward the Bay. He stops at a light and notices a rat behind him on the sidewalk. He doesn't think much of it, and walks on. At the next light, he notices several rats behind him. He feels a little nervous. When he gets to another light, he looks back and there must be a 100 rats behind him. He walks toward a dock and more and more rats are behind him, getting closer and closer. He realizes it must be something to do with the medallion and he frantically pulls it out of his pocket and throws it into the Bay. Hundreds of rats race off the dock into the water. The guy returns to the shop.

The shopkeeper greets him and says, 'I bet you ended up with a bunch of rats chasing you. And you want to return the medallion and get your money back.'

And the guy says, 'No. I want to know if you have a medallion for lawyers!'

Following surgery, a lawyer woke up in the hospital. He noticed that the blinds to his room were closed.

He asked the nurse, “Why are all the blinds drawn?”

She responded, “Well, there’s a raging fire in the building across the street and the doctor didn’t want you to wake up and think the operation had been a failure.”
