A good sense of humor allows us to laugh at ourselves as much as anyone else. Matt & Foggy tend to practice good law & both have a good sense of humor, so I can easily imagine the two of them sitting over a couple beers & slapping their legs as they regale each other with some of the following riddles, puns, & rib ticklers. (Rosalind Sharpe, however, might only favor you with a very stern look upon hearing some of these, as a few of them may hit uncomfortably close to home!).

Q. What is the difference between a tick and a lawyer?
A. A tick falls off of you when you die.

Q. What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?

A snake and a rabbit were racing along a pair of intersecting forest pathways one day when they collided at the point where the pathways met. They immediately began to argue with one another as to who was at fault.

When the snake remarked that he had been blind since birth and thus should be given additional leeway, the rabbit said that he too had been blind since birth. The two animals then forgot about the collision and began commiserating concerning the problems of being blind.

The snake said that his greatest regret was the loss of his identity. He had never been able to see his reflection in water, and for that reason did not know exactly what he looked like, or even what type of animal he was. The rabbit declared that he had the same problem.

Seeing a way that they could help each other, the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from head to toe and then try to describe what the other animal was. The snake agreed and started by winding himself around the rabbit. After a few moments he announced, "You've got very soft fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a bunny rabbit!"

The rabbit was much relieved to finally discover his identity and proceeded to return the favor to the snake. After feeling about the snake's body for a few minutes he asserted, "Well, you're scaly, you're slimy, you've got beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all the time, and you've got a forked tongue... I think you're a lawyer!

Q. What does a lawyer have in common with a sperm?
A. Both have a one in 3 million chance of actually becoming a human being!

At a convention of biological scientists one researcher remarks to another, "Did you know that in our lab we've switched from mice to lawyers for our experiments?"
"Really?" the other replied, "Why did you switch?"
"Well, for three reasons: First, we found that lawyers are far more plentiful; Second, the lab assistants don't get so attached to them; and thirdly, there are some things even a rat won't do. However, sometimes it very hard to extrapolate our test results to human beings."

Q. How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. How many can you afford?

A man walked into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates.
"$50.00 for three questions", replied the lawyer.
"Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man.
"Yes," the lawyer replied, "and what was your third question?"

Q. Why does the law society prohibit sex between lawyers and their clients?
A. To prevent clients from being billed twice for what is essentially the same service.

A lawyer is driving his new, red, convertible BMW when he runs a red light and is broad-sided by a Ford. He stumbles out in shock, all the while whining "My Beemer. My poor Beemer".
A cop arrives on the scene and points out "Sir, your arm has been torn off".
The lawyer looks at where his left arm used to be and screams "MY ROLEX!"

"How can I ever thank you?" gushed a woman to Clarence Darrow, after he had solved her legal troubles. "My dear woman," Darrow replied, "ever since the Phoenicians invented money there has been only one answer to that question."

Lawyer's creed: A man is innocent until proven broke.

Q. What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A truck driver frequently traveled through a small town where there was a courthouse at the side of the road. Of course, there were always lawyers walking along the road. Not liking lawyers, the truck driver made it a practice to hit any pedestrian lawyers with his truck as he sped by.

One day, headed into town, he spotted a priest walking along the road and stopped to give him a ride. A little further along, as he approached the town, he spotted a lawyer walking along the side of the road. Automatically, he veered his truck towards the lawyer, but...then he remembered his passenger. Not wanting to offend a man of God, he swerved back to the center. Nonetheless, he heard a "whump" and in the rear view mirror he spotted the lawyer rolling across the field.

He turned to the priest and said, "Father, I was sure that I missed that lawyer!"

The priest replied, "That's OK, my son, I got him with the door."

On their way to a justice of the peace to get married this couple has a fatal car accident. The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate waiting on St. Peter to do an intake. In conversation while waiting they wonder if they could possibly get married in Heaven. St. Peter finally shows up and they ask him.

St. Peter says, "I don't know, this is the first time anyone ever asked. Let me go find out," and he leaves.

The couple sits for a couple of months and in conversation they begin to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all. "What if it doesn't work out?" they wonder, "Are we stuck together forever?"

St. Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informs the couple, "you can get married in Heaven."

"Great," says the couple, "but what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"

St. Peter, red-faced, slams his clipboard onto the ground.

"What's wrong?" exclaims the frightened couple.

"For Heaven's Sake!" St. Peter exclaims, "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it's going to take for me to find a lawyer!?"

Jury: Twelve people who determine which client has the better lawyer.

A mother and son were walking through a cemetery, and passed by a headstone inscribed, "Here lies a good lawyer and an honest man." The little boy read the headstone, looked up at his mother, and asked, "Mommy, why did they bury two men there?"

A housewife, an accountant and a lawyer were asked "How much is 2+2?"
The housewife replies: "Four!".
The accountant says: "I think it's either 3 or 4. Let me run those figures through my spreadsheet one more time."
The lawyer pulls the drapes, dims the lights and asks in a hushed voice, "How much do you want it to be?"

In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, two cars both slightly cross over the white line in the center of the road. They collide and a fair amount of damage is done to both cars, although neither driver is hurt.

It's impossible to assess blame for the accident on either party, however. Both drivers get out of their cars. One is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. The lawyer calls the police on his car phone: they will be there in 20 minutes.

It's cold and damp, and both men are shaken-up. The lawyer offers the doctor a drink of brandy from his hip flask. The doctor accepts, drinks and hands it back to the lawyer, who puts it away.

"Aren't you going to have a drink, too?" asks the doctor.

"Oh, maybe AFTER we've talked to the police..." replies the lawyer.
