I guess you gotta know a couple lawyers.

If it were less than true it might be funnier.

I'm with you on this one Kenny. I didn't even flinch at the $4500 pricetag - scary huh

It is very funny because it is true.

That kind of humor is actually the sort that stirs certain people to action. Sure the joke itself was subpar but that type of humor has always been important to us Americans. Look at the political humor of early on to even now. The humor side is not only making fun of the issue it is pointing a finger at it and screaming "BAD, BAD!!!"

I take it there are no Doonesbury fans in the audience.

Oh I love Doonesbury mostly........ And I agree that Jokes are often a way of "telling truths" but that one was just too true.....

Now here's a lawyer joke that I like:

What’s the difference between a lawyer and a bucket of pond scum?

The bucket.

Oh my Dog, Kenny!

That's fantastic!

For a really good laugh type, "The Dog Delusion," in Google, then read the blogs. Some of our 'companions' with two legs would have been put down if they had been taken to a vet; they are far too dangerous to be out on the street.

A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"

She said, "I'd love to be ten again."

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and they went to a theme park. He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear. She had a go on every ride there was.

She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and her stomach turning.

Then off to a movie theater, popcorn, cola and sweets.

At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being ten again?"

One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually, honey, I meant dress size!"
