Gold Mouse Statue

"Lawyer Joke"

An American attorney had just finished a guest lecture
at a law school in Italy when an Italian lawyer approached
him and asked, "Is it true that a person can fall down on
a sidewalk in your county and then sue the landowners
for lots of money?"

Told that it was true, the lawyer turned to his partner and
started speaking rapidly in Italian. When they stopped,
the American attorney asked if they wanted to go to
America to practice law.

"No, no," one replied. "We want to go to America and fall
down on sidewalks."

"Gold Mouse Statue"

One day a man is walking in San Francisco's Chinatown,
and takes a turn down a strange looking alley, he comes
to a strange store.

The man goes into it and begins just looking around,
but then he sees a Gold mouse statue and he decides to
purchase this Gold mouse statue. He walks up to the
clerk and says, "I would like to purchase this Gold
Statue."

The Clerk says, It is $20.00 for the statue and another
$1,000.00 for the story behind it."

The man refuses the story and gives the man $20.00.
He walks out of the store, and begins walking back to
San Francisco, when he notices that there is 3 mice
following him, he thinks nothing of it so he continues
walking. So, about 5 minutes later there are thousands
of mice following him.

So he takes off running and the mice are right on him,
so, he runs toward the Wharf, and as he reaches the
edge, he throws the Gold Mouse Statue into the wharf.
All the mice follow the statue into the wharf.

After they are all dead, he goes back to the Shop. He
walks in, and the clerk asks him, "So, came back for
the story, Huh?"

The man replies "No, I wanted to know if you had a Gold
Statue of a Lawyer?"
