King Solomon

"Observations"

Q: What do lawyers and bullfrogs have in common?
A: Both have a big head that consists mostly of mouth.

Lawyers and computers have both been proliferating
since 1970. Unfortunately, lawyers, unlike computers,
have not gotten twice as smart and half as expensive
every 18 months.

In a cartoon showing two people fighting over
a cow, one person was pulling the cow by the
tail; the other was pulling on the horns.

Underneath was a lawyer milking the cow.

"King Solomon"

Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging
between them a young man.

"This young man agreed to marry my daughter," said one.

"No! He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other.

And so they haggled before the King, until he called for silence.

"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon, "and I shall
hew the young man in half. Each of you shall receive a half."

"Sounds good to me," said the first lady.

But the other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent
blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him."

The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The young man
must marry the first lady's daughter," he proclaimed.

"But she was willing to hew him in two!" exclaimed the king's court.

"Indeed," said wise King Solomon. "That shows she is the
TRUE mother-in-law."
