LEGAL HUMOUR

-

Three doctors are discussing which types of patients they prefer. Doctor Watson says, ”I prefer librarians. All their organs are alphabetis­ed.” Doctor Fitzpatric­k says, ”I prefer mathematic­ians. All their organs are numbered.” Doctor Ahn says, ”I prefer lawyers. They’re gutless, heartless, brainless, spineless, and their heads and rear-ends are interchang­eable.”

Lawyer: “Would you mind telling the jury why you shot your wife with a bow and an arrow?” Defendant: “I didn’t want to wake up the children.”

A driver caught speeding was brought before a judge. The judge asked: “Will you take thirty days or a hundred dollars?” The defendant replied: “I think I’ll take the money.”

A lawyer is standing in a long line at the box office. Suddenly, he feels a pair of hands kneading his shoulders, back, and neck. The lawyer turns around. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” “I’m a chiropract­or, and I’m just keeping in practice while I’m waiting in line.” “Well, I’m a lawyer, but you don’t see me screwing the guy in front of me, do you?”

A Polish man married a Canadian girl after he had been in Canada a year or so, and although his English was far from perfect, the couple got on very well. One day, though, he rushed into a lawyer’s office and asked if he could arrange a divorce for him, “Very quick!” The lawyer explained that the speed of getting a divorce would depend on the circumstan­ces, and asked these questions: LAWYER: “Have you any grounds?” POLE: “An acre and half, and a nice 3 bedroom house.” LAWYER: “No, I mean what is the foundation of the case?” POLE: “It is made of concrete, bricks & mortar.” LAWYER: “Does either of you have a real grudge?” POLE: “No, we have a carport and don’t need a grudge.” LAWYER: “I mean, what are your relations like?” POLE: “All my relations live in Poland.” LAWYER: “Is there any infidelity in your marriage?” POLE: “Yes, we have hi-fidelity stereo set & DVD player with 6.1 sound.” LAWYER: “No, I mean does your wife beat you up?” POLE: “No, I’m always up before her.” LAWYER: “Why do you want this divorce?” POLE: “She going to kill me!” LAWYER: “What makes you think that?” POLE: “I got proof.” LAWYER: “What kind of proof?” POLE: “She going to poison me. She buy bottle at drug store and I read label. It say Polish Remover.”
