[align=left]Oneday a tourist wandered into a curio shop in Hong Kong. Way in the back,amidst the clutter, he found a brass statuette of a rat. It wasbeautifully crafted, and the man decided he rather liked it. "Howmuch?" he asked the elderly Chinese shopkeeper. "Five dollar," theshopkeeper replied. "Hundred dollar with story." Five dollars seemedlike a good price, and the tourist decided that he could live withoutknowing the story of the brass rat. So he bought it. As he wandered onthrough the streets of Hong Kong, however, the man noticed withsurprise that he was not alone. Rats were emerging from buildings, thesewers, everywhere, in ever increasing numbers, and following him.Before long there were so many that he became genuinely frightened.Finding himself at the water's edge, the now terrified man hurled thebrass rat into the bay. He heaved a sigh of relief as the thousands ofrats hurled themselves into the bay after it and promptly began todrown. Shaken, the man made his way back to the curio shop. The oldChinese shopkeeper looked amused. "You come back for story?" he asked.The tourist shook his head. "No," he said. "I just wanted to know ifyou had a brass lawyer."
You know, someoneonce told me that New York has more lawyers than people. WarrenBuffett (1930-)
Defendant: You know, Ihate coming out here at seven in the morning and having to sitdownstairs with a bunch of criminals. Judge: I have to do the same thing every day.
Defendant: Yeah, but you don't haveto sit down in a holding tank with 'em.
Judge: Every day I come in and I meetthe dregs of society, and then I have to meet their clients. Think ofthat.
A man was on vacation when he raninto an old acquaintance. "Hello, Joe," he said. "I haven't seen you inyears. What are you doing these days?"
"I'm practicing law," whisperedJoe. "But don't tell my mother. She thinks I'm still a pimp."
Animals aren't as stupid as peoplethink: after all, they don't have any lawyers.
