What is the trouble with lawyer jokes?
Lawyers don't think they are funny, and other people don't think they are jokes!

A surgeon, an architect and a lawyer are having a heated barroom discussion concerning which of their professions is actually the oldest profession.
The surgeon says: "Surgery is the oldest profession. God took a rib from Adam to create Eve and you can't go back further than that."
The architect says: "Hold on! In fact, God was the first architect when he created the world out of chaos in 7 days, and you can't go back any further than that!"
The lawyer puffs his cigar and says: "Gentlemen, Gentlemen...who do you think created the chaos?"

If one side has one, the other side has to get one. Once launched, they cannot be recalled. When they land, they screw up everything forever.

Over a century ago, a British judge was late for court so he hailed a cab and told the driver to take him to the Royal Courts of Justice.
"Where are they," asked the driver.
"You mean to say that you don't know where the law courts are?" asked the judge incredulously.
"Oh! The law courts," replied the driver. "But you said the courts of justice."
