Lawyer's Dog

"Lawyer's Dog"*

*A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a
roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher
recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his.

The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his
neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast
from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?"

The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?"

"$7.98," the butcher replied.

A few days later the butcher received a check in
the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read:

Legal Consultation Service: $150 .

"Time Sheets"*

*A lawyer dies in a car accident on his 40th birthday
and finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band.
Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations!!!"

"Congratulations for what?" asks the lawyer.

"Congratulations for what?!?!?" says Saint Peter.
"We're celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old."

"But that's not true," says the lawyer. "I only lived to be forty."

"That's impossible," says Saint Peter. "We've added up your time sheets."
