"Honest Lawyer"
An investment counselor went out on her own.
She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept
coming in, and pretty soon she realized she
needed an in-house counsel, so she began
interviewing young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started
off with one of the first applicants, "in a business
like this, our personal integrity must be beyond
question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson,
are you an *honest* lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell
you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest
that my father lent me fifteen thousand dollars for
my education, and I paid back every penny the
minute I tried my very first case."
"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted,
"He sued me for the money."

"Getting A Divorce"
A comely redhead was thrilled to have obtained
a divorce and dazzled by the skill and virtuosity
of her lawyer, not to mention his healthy income
and good looks. In fact, she realized, she had
fallen head over heals in love with him, even
though he was a married man.
"Oh, sweetie," she sobbed at the conclusion
of the trial, "isn't there some way we can be
together, the way we were meant to be?"
Taking her by the shoulders, the lawyer proceeded
to scold her for her lack of discretion and good
judgment. "Snatched drinks in grimy bars on the
edge of town, lying on the phone, hurried
meetings in sordid motels rooms - is that really
what you want for us?"
"No...no..." she sobbed, heartsick.
"Oh," said the lawyer. "Well, it was just a suggestion."
