Honest Lawyer

"Inheritance"

A man went to his lawyer and stated, "I would
like to make a will but I don't know exactly how
   to go about it."

The lawyer said, "No problem, leave it all to me."

The man looked somewhat upset as he said,
"Well, I knew you were going to take the biggest
slice, but I'd like to leave a little to my children, too!"

"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 honesty. 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."
