Lawyer at the Pearly Gates

[hadirfuss]

One day, a teacher, a garbage collector and a lawyer wound up together at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter informed them that in order to get into Heaven, they would each have to answer one question. St. Peter addressed the teacher and asked, "What was the name of the ship that crashed into an iceberg? They just made a movie about it." The teacher answered quickly, "That would be the Titanic." St. Peter let him through the gate. St. Peter turned to the garbage man and decided to make the question a little harder, "How many people died on the ship?" Fortunately for him, the trash man had just seen the movie and answered, "About 1,500." "That's right! You may enter." St. Peter then turned to the lawyer. "Name them."

Lawyers are liars!(usually), but to name 1500 is a Hymalayan task! Anyway its a good one!

Fortunatly the lawyer has photographic memory and has just seen a documtentary on the titanic

Now THAT would be a boring documentary if it named all 1500 passengers!

Another "Lawyer" quip:

There's a group of good friends from the business and professional world in my area who meet regularly for breakfast and have raised the art of heckling each other to new highs. Several of them are lawyers.

One day a newcomer joined the group and was advised by one of the senior members (a businessman), "You'd best not sit too close to the door. If an ambulance goes down the street, you may get killed in the crush."

The reference is to lawyers competing with each other to get in on personal injury cases (ambulance chasers).
