"Lawyers & Doctors"
Three old college roommates got together
regularly over the years, even though their
professional lives differed widely. One had
become an attorney, one a professor of Italian
literature, and the third a zoologist.
When they next met, they were pretty gloomy,
and it turned out that each had been told by
his doctor that he had only six weeks to live.
Understandably, the conversation turned to
the way in which each intended to live out his
last days.
"I'm going to Tanzania," said the zoologist. "I've
always wanted to see the rare mountain gorilla
in its native habitat."
"Italy for me. I want to see where Dante was
born, to be buried near the great man. And
you?" asked the professor, turning to the third
friend. "What would you like to see?"
"Another doctor," said the attorney.

"Doctors & Lawyers"
A doctor and a lawyer get into a car accident,
and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished,
but amazingly, neither of the clerics is hurt. After
they crawl out of their cars, a lawyer says to the
doctor, "There's nothing left, but we are unhurt.
This must be a sign from G-d. G-d must have
meant that we should meet and be friends and
live together in peace the rest of our days."
The doctor replies, "I agree with you completely.
This must be a sign from G-d."
And look at this," the lawyer says, "here's another
miracle! My car is completely demolished yet this
bottle of wine didn't break. Surely G-d wants us to
drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."
He then hands the bottle to the doctor who takes
a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back. The
lawyer takes the bottle and immediately puts the
cap on. The doctor asks, "Aren't you going to take
a drink?"
"No, I think I'll wait for the police to join us."
