Lawyers have feelings too (allegedly)

After coming to Gudalur, I had a few brief interactions with some advocates here. Then, I read Gandhi's views on Lawyers ! And, then recently saw Lage Raho Munna Bhai, where there is a terrific scene where a lawyer tries to convince the herione and the 5 old men that they should 'fight it out' legally against the villain.

All in all, I am extremely wary of doing anything to do with lawyers. Though any sane person is better off without any professions, I think the last thing I would choose is to become a lawyer. This is not to offend anyone, but there is fundementally something not nice about the legal profession - where we have some people trying to interpret a written word and decide what is good and just !
Anyway, they make up by giving lots of opportunities for some good jokes. So, thought of just sharing some gems in this blog :

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral.

ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth?
WITNESS: July 18th.
ATTORNEY: What year?
WITNESS: Every year.


When attorneys die, why do they bury them 600 feet underground?
Because deep down, they're really nice guys.

A new client had just come in to see a famous lawyer. "Can you tell me how much you charge?", said the client.
"Of course", the lawyer replied, "I charge Rs.200 to answer three questions!"
"Well that's a bit steep, isn't it?"
"Yes it is", said the lawyer, "And what's your third question?"

An engineer dies and reports to hell. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

Satan replies, "Hey things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"

I hope, no lawyer reads it - and sues me !
