There is a general sense that lawyers are less than honest. I checked out the the lawyer jokes and found a wealth of cynical humour.
For one-liners, these two seem to sum things up:
- 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. - Talk is cheap. Until you hire a lawyer.
Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and honest lawyer, and an old drunk were walking along when they simultaneously spotted a hundred-dollar bill laying in the street. Who gets it? The old drunk, of course, the other three are mythological creatures.
Q: How many divorce lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: 3 - one to argue for the rights of the old lightbulb, one to argue for the rights of the new lightbulb, and one to argue for the rights of
the light socket
A minister and a lawyer arrived at the pearly gates, Saint Peter greeted both of them and gave them their room assignments. "Pastor, here are the keys to one of our nicest efficiency units. And for you, sir, the keys to our finest penthouse suite." "This is unfair!" cried the minister. "Listen," Saint Peter said, "ministers are a dime a dozen up here, but this is the first lawyer we've ever seen."
Mark Twain notes... "It is interesting to note that criminals have multiplied of late, and lawyers have also; but I repeat myself."
It is amazing how a profession can have such a long and enduring reputation.
