- Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp. The small one turns to the big one and says, “I don‘t understand how you can be so much bigger than I am. We‘re the same age, we were the same size as kids… I just don‘t get it.“
“Well,“ says the big alligator, “what have you been eating?“
“Lawyers, same as you,“ replies the small alligator.
“Hmm. Well, where do you catch ‘em?“
“Down at that law firm on the edge of the swamp.“
“Same here. Hmm. How do you catch ‘em?“
“Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door. Then I jump out, bite ‘em, shake the crap out of ‘em, and eat ‘em!“
“Ah!“ says the big alligator, “I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin‘ the crap out of a lawyer, there‘s nothing left but lips and a briefcase…“

- 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, although neither is hurt. It is impossible to assess blame for the accident on either however. They both get out. One is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. The lawyer calls the police on his car phone; they‘ll 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 also going to have a drink?“ the doctor says.
“After the police get here.“ replies the lawyer.
“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.“
Two new surgeons at the hospital were discussing the qualities of their favorite patients. “I like contractors myself” says one. “They don’t even flinch when I tell them I underestimated the cost and length of surgery.”
“Well, I had an electrician yesterday” another says. “It was beautiful everything inside well marked and color coded!’
An older surgeon passing by heard them, and cut in. “You fellas ain’t seen nothing yet” he tells them “By far the best patients are lawyers- they have no heart, no spine, little guts, and the head and butt are fully interchangeable!”
