Looking for an Honest Lawyer

An independent woman started her own business. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in. Pretty soon she realized she needed an in-house counsel, and so she began interviewing young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an 'honest' lawyer?"

"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about honesty. Why, I'm so honest that my dad lent me fifteen thousand dollars for my education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case."

"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"

He squirmed in his seat and admitted, "My dad sued me for the money."

The Moped


An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.
The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, ' What kind of car ya got there, sonny ?'
The doctor replies, ' A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars ! '
' That's a lot of money,' says the old man. ' Why does it cost so much?'
' Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour !' States the doctor proudly.
The Moped driver asks, 'Mind if I take a look inside ?'
' No problem,' replies the doctor.
So the old man pokes his head in the window And looks around.
Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... But I'll stick with my Moped !'


Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do.
He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror.
It seems to be getting closer !
He slows down to see what it could be, and suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH !
Something whips by him going much faster !


' What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari ?' the doctor asks himself.
He presses harder on the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.
Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped !
Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, He gives it more gas and passes the Moped at 275 mph, and he's feeling pretty good until he looks in his Mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN !


Astounded by the speed of this old guy, He floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.
Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped Bearing down on him again !


The Ferrari is flat out, And there's nothing he can do !
Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end.
The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably The old man is still alive.


He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, ' I'm a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you ?'
The old man whispers,
' Unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror '.

A Good Blond Joke

A ventriloquist is onstage, and midway through his performance throws in a series of blonde jokes.

Suddenly, a blonde stands on her chair and shouts, "I've heard just about enough of your blonde jokes! It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected."

Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to apologize.

To which the blonde interjects, "You stay out of this mister. I'm talking to the little guy."

An Old Preacher Joke - But It's Still Good

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

  • The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
  • The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
  • The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
  • The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

  • The first worm in alcohol - Dead
  • The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead
  • The third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead
  • The fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive

So the Minister asked the congregation, "What can you learn from this demonstration?" Maxine, sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said, "So, as long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms." That pretty much ended the service.

Generation Y

I just received this email joke.

The Silent Generation...people born between 1925 and 1945.

The Baby Boomers... people born between 1946 and 1964.

Generation X...people born between 1965 and 1982.

Generation Y... people born between 1983 and 1997.

Why do we call the last group of people Generation Y?

I had no idea until I saw this cartoonist's explanation!

Thanks to the Quebec newspaper Le Soleil and cartoonist Marc Beaudet.

Never Argue with a Woman

This joke came from someone in my wife's book club. Of course!

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing anddecides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wifedecides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors,and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the womanand says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

''Reading a book,'" she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading''
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start atany moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.''For reading a book,' she replies,'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.''
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says thewoman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.''
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Passing the Collection Plate

This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches than casinos.

Not surprisingly, some worshipers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.


This is done by the chip monks.

Red Headed Baby Joke


After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the Obstetrician.

"Doctor," the man said, "I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine."

"Nonsense," the doctor said. "Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool."

"It isn't possible," the man insisted. "This can't be, our families on both sides had jet-black hair for generations."

"Well," said the doctor, "let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?" The man seemed a bit ashamed.

"I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice every few months."

"Well, there you have it!" The doctor said confidently. "It's rust."


Disclaimer: That picture is not one of our family's several redheaded babies. They're all grown up now, but they were all even cuter than that one.

Computer Gender Joke





A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

"House, for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' Pencil, however, is masculine: 'el lapiz'."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether 'computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half
your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they
ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.


If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.

An Old Age Joke

Some days these kind of jokes aren't so funny.

An elderly man goes for a physical. All of his tests come back with normal results. The doctor says, "Bill, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?"

Bill replies, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, poof! the light goes on. When I'm done, poof! the light goes off."

"Wow, that's incredible," the doctor says. A little later in the day, the doctor calls Bill's wife and asks, "Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done, poof! the light goes off?

"Oh no!" Ethel exclaims. "He's peeing in the refrigerator again!"

"How You Perceive a Situation"

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, "Do you know her?"

Yes," I sighed. "She was my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she has not been sober since."

"My God!" said my wife. "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

Therefore, you see, there really are two ways to look at everything.
