The lawyer's son
wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, so he went to law school.
He graduated with honors, and then went home to join his father's firm.
At the end of his first day at work he rushed into his father's office,
and said, "Father, father, in one day I broke the accident case

His father responded: "You idiot, we could live on the funding
of that case for another ten years!"

having engine trouble, and the pilot instructed the cabin crew to have

one lawyer who is still going around passing out business cards."
