Why Me, Officer?

"Calling a Lawyer"

A guy phones a law office and says: "I want to speak
to my lawyer."

The receptionist replies "I'm sorry but he died last
week."

The next day he phones again and asks the same
question. The receptionist replies "I told you
yesterday, he died last week."

The next day the guy calls again and asks to speak to
his lawyer. By this time the receptionist is getting a
little annoyed and says "I keep telling you that your
lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?"

The guy says, "Because I just love hearing it."

"Why Me, Officer?"

A lawyer was speeding down the highway, feeling secure
in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed.
However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed
with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over.

The officer handed him the citation, received his
signature and was about to walk away when the lawyer
asked, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't
think it's fair. There were plenty of other cars
around me going just as fast, so why did I get the
ticket?"

"Ever go fishing?" the policeman suddenly asked the
man.

"Ummm, yeah... so," the startled lawyer replied.

The officer grinned and added, "Ever catch ALL the
fish?"
