Things you say to your lawyer when you get
your bill…
"A man who dies without a will has lawyers for his heirs."
--Anonymous
A quote attributed to Founding Father John Adams in the play
"1776":
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a
disgrace, two men are called a law firm, and three or more become
a Congress."
For a good time, hire a hooker,
For a lot of time, hire my attorney.

Why I Love Mark Twain
At a New England society dinner some years ago, Mark Twain had
just finished a piquant address when Mr. Evarts arose, shoved both
of his hands down into his trousers’ pockets, as was his habit and
laughingly remarked "Doesn’t it strike this company as a little
unusual that a professional humorist should be funny?"
Mark Twain waited until the laughter excited by this sally had
subsided, and then drawled out "Doesn’t it strike this company as
a little unusual that a lawyer should have his hands in his own
pockets?"
The Witness
The judge admonished the witness, "Do you understand that you
have sworn to tell the truth?"
"I do."
"Do you understand what will happen if you are not truthful?"
"Sure," said the witness. "My side will win."

SwimFest
A millionaire threw a massive party for his
fiftieth birthday. He got a bit bored with the
regular group of butt-kissing friends and relatives
so he decided to stir things up a bit.
He grabbed the mic and announced that in the
garden of his mansion he has a swimming pool with two
great white sharks in it. He offered anything he owns
to anyone who will swim across the pool for the
evening.
The party continued for some time with no one
accepting his offer, until suddenly there was the
sound of a loud splash echoing across his vast
property.
All the party guests ran to the pool to see what
had happened. In the pool a man was frantically
swimming as hard as he could. Fins came out of the
water and jaws snapped ferociously as the guy just
kept on going. The sharks were gaining, but the guy
managed to reach the other side of the pool. He leapt
out of the pool. His expensive suit was soaked.
The millionaire grabbed the mic and said, "I am a
man of my word. Anything of mine I will give — for
you are the bravest man I have seen since I dared my
best friend to bite a wild rattle snake. So, what
will it be?" the millionaire asked.
The guy grabbed the mic and said, "Why don't we
start with the name of the person that pushed me in!"
Are you technically
challenged?
This is an excerpt from a "Wall Street Journal"
article.
- Compaq is considering changing the command "Press
Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood
of calls asking where the "Any" key is.
- AST technical support had a caller complaining
that her mouse was hard to control with the dust
cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag
the mouse was packaged in.
- A Dell technician advised his customer to put his
troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door.
The customer asked the tech to hold on and was heard
putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the
room to close the door.
- Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't
get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of
troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man
was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in
front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send"
key.
- Yet another Dell customer called to complain that
his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by
filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking
the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys
and washing them individually.
