Just Joking

Q. What's wrong with lawyer jokes?

A. Lawyers don't think they're funny and other people don't think they're jokes.

Proper Attire

I used to wonder why so many lawyers wore turtleneck shirts.

Turns out I had it all wrong.

Mexico City

Mexico City is the largest city in the world. It was built on the site of the ancient city of Tenochtitlán. Tenochtitlán was built in 1325 by the Aztecs. It was destroyed by the Spanish when they conquered Mexico. Hernando Cortez first entered the Valley of Mexico in 1519. With fewer than 200 soldiers and a few horses, he conquered the Aztecs. In 1521 the Spanish destroyed the city of Tenochtitlán.

Volcanoes

In the Central Highlands region of Mexico there are many volcanoes. Two volcanoes can be seen from Mexico City. These are Popocatépetl and Ixtacíhuatl. Both of these are quiet, although Popocatépetl sends up steam and smoke occasionally.

A National Dance

Mexico has a national dance. It is the Mexican Hat Dance. The men usually dress as charros (rodeo riders) when performing the dance. The women wear brightly colored full skirts. The couple moves around a wide-brimmed Mexican hat called a sombrero in the dance.

Names

Mexican children are given both their father's last name and their mother's maiden name. This tradition helps preserve the heritage of both parents. Fathers would often weave a God's eye when their children were born. At each birthday for five years the father would weave another God's eye.

  STUFF

Taking the Edge Off

A woman asks her husband if he'd like some breakfast, bacon and eggs, perhaps a slice of toast? He declines. "It's this Viagra," he says, "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."

At lunchtime, she asks if he would like something. A bowl of home made soup, maybe, with a cheese sandwich? He declines. "It's this Viagra," he says, "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."

At dinnertime, she asks again if he wants anything to eat. She'll go out and get him some fast food, or whip up a big dinner of turkey and mashed potatoes. Once again he declines. "It's this Viagra," he says, "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."

"Well, then," she says, "Would you mind getting off of me? I'm starving to death!"

The Game

One day a blonde was sitting beside a lawyer on an airplane and the lawyer sees the blond is going to fall asleep so the lawyer asks her if she wanted to play a game. So the blond asks what kind of game.

The lawyer says we ask each other questions and every one I get wrong I give you $100 and every one you get wrong you give me $5.

And the blonde says no and goes back to sleep. Then the lawyer asks her again if she wanted to play the game and she says no and goes to sleep again.

Then the lawyer asks her one more time. So the blonde decides to since the lawyer won't shut up. Now first the lawyer asks "What's the capital of Washington?" The blonde doesn't know so she gives the lawyer $5. Now the blonde asks the lawyer "What goes up a hill with four legs and down a hill with 3?"

So the lawyer checks on the net in the encyclopedias and everything else possible and he can't find the answer so he gives the blonde $100. Then the lawyer asks the blonde what was the answer to that question. So the blonde reaches in her purse and gives the lawyer another $5 bill.
