these were told to me by a Lawyer so I guess it's ok to repeat them ...

What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of a lake?

A good start.




They started using laywers in experiments, intead of lab rats.

They found that there were far more lawyers available, than rats.

They found that the technicians didn't get as attached to the lawyers,
as they did to the rats.

And they found that there were some things that a rat just wouldn't do.
