lawyer jokes are no longer appealing

Hey, themilum:

It's OK to make fun of a lawyer's rhyme
As long as you pay him for his time.

Besides:

He can always appeal to the court
If he thinks your joke is a tort.

You got us all wrong, themilum. We aren't snakes. We're sharks. :) [Snakes have thin skins. Sharks don't.]

Which reminds me:

Did you hear the one about the guys who were lost at sea in a life-raft? They were nearly dead when they drifted within sight of a deserted island. Only one problem: the life-raft was surrounded by sharks.

There was a lawyer on board. He didn't hesitate for a moment. He dove in and the sharks escorted him safely to shore.

"What's that all about?, one of the guys on the life-raft sputtered in amazement. "Professional courtesy", the lawyer's buddy replied.
