Lawyer Jokes

Shipwreck

Three men, a doctor, a minister, and a lawyer take a fishing
boat out onto the ocean. A terrible storm arises, and the
boat takes a great quantity of water. Fearing that they will
all die, they decide that one of them must jump into the
shark infested waters so that the other two may live.

The minister volunteers, saying that God will take care of
him. He jumps in and is immediately eaten by the sharks.

More water comes into the boat. They decide that one of the
two remaining people must jump in. The doctor says "I have
spent my entire life healing people, certainly I will survive
the ocean." He jumps in and is immediately eaten by the
sharks.

A person is walking along the shore line. He sees the boat
being pushed by sharks onto the shore. It reaches the shore,
and the lawyer steps out calmly. The man runs to the lawyer,
and says "hey, what was that all about?"

The lawyer says "Professional courtesy."
