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."

  STUFF

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.

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.
