JOKES:

The judicial process is like a cow. The public is impaled on its horns, the government has it by the tail, and all the while the lawyers are milking it.

Ole and Lena had married under none too happy circumstances, and their married life had not been anything to brag about either. But when, after they had been lived together for thirty five years, Ole went to the local judge to ask for an annulment, the whole of Middleton gasped with amazement.

A date for the hearing was set, however, and when the time came the judge demanded to know the grounds on which Ole based his demand for an annulment.

"It's like this, your Honour," answered Ole, "I've just learned that Lena's father never had a license to carry a gun."

After dozens of very expensive tests and weeks of hospitalization, the rich old man was told he had only 24 hours
to live. He immediately called his doctor and his lawyer to his room. He asked the doctor to stand by one side of his bed and his lawyer to stand by the other.

After standing for some time, the doctor asked "What do you want me to do?"

As the hours wore on, the doctor and the lawyer watched the man weaken. When his time had almost arrived, the doctor and the lawyer again asked "Why are we standing here?"

"Well," said the old man, "Christ died between two thieves, so I thought I'd do the same!

An attorney went into a bar for a Martini and found himself beside a scruffy-looking drunk who kept mumbling and studying something in his hand. He leaned closer while the drunk held the tiny object up to the light, slurring, "Well, it looks plastic."

Then he rolled it between his fingers, adding, "But it feels like rubber."

The drunk replied, "I don't know, but it looks like plastic and feels like rubber."

The attorney responded, "Let me take a look."

So the drunk handed it over and the lawyer rolled between his thumb and fingers, then examined it closely by sniffing and licking it. "Yeah, it does look like plastic and feel like rubber, has no significant smell or taste, I sure don't know what it is. Where did you get it?"

The drunk replied, "Out of my nose."

A dying man gathered his lawyer, doctor and clergyman at his bedside and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place
the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.

A week later the man died. At the wake, the lawyer and doctor and clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a mission in South America.

He asked for their forgiveness.

The doctor, moved by the gentle Clergyman's sincerity, confessed that he, too, had kept some of the money for a new X-Ray machine at his hospital. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8,000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others.

By this time the lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behaviour of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept his promise to our dying friend. I
want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."

When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law before the criminal gets arrested, we call him an accomplice. When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law after the criminal gets arrested, we call him a defense lawyer.

A lawyer was on vacation in a small farming town. While walking throughthe streets, a car was involved in an accident. As expected a large crowd gathered. Going by instinct, the lawyer was eager to get to the injured, but he couldn't get near the car. Being a clever sort, he started shouting loudly, "Let me through! Let me through! I am the son of the victim."

The crowd made way for him. Lying in front of the car was a donkey.

In a terrible accident at a railroad crossing, a train smashed into a car and pushed it nearly four hundred yards down the
track. Though no one was killed, the driver took the train company to court.

At the trial, the engineer insisted that he had given the driver ample warning by waving his lantern back and forth for nearly a minute. He even stood and convincingly demonstrated how he'd done it. The court believed his story, and the suit was dismissed.

"I have a dilemma. I am about to get married, but I haven't been totally honest with my fiance. My mother is a well-known madam, my father is a convict, and my brother is a lawyer. My sister sells heroin to the children at the school down the street. I also have a problem - I'm wanted in three states for embezzlement. Taking all that into consideration, this is my question, how do I tell my fiance that my brother is a lawyer?"

Two men were being tried for murder. The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, "Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free." How could such a bizarre judgement occur?

The two defendants were Siamese twins. The guilty man was set free, because to punish him would mean punishing an innocent man.

After a laborious two-week criminal trial in a very high profile bank robbery case, the jury finally ended its 14 hours of deliberations and entered the courtroom to deliver its verdict to the judge. The judge turns to the jury foreman and asks, "Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?"

"Yes we have, your honour," the foreman responded. "Would you please pass it to me," the judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it to him. After the judge reads the verdict himself, he delivers the verdict slip back to his bailiff to be returned to the foreman, and instructs the foreman, "Please read your verdict to the court." "We find the defendant NOT GUILTY of all four counts of bank robbery," stated the foreman.

he family and friends of the defendant jump for joy at the sound of the "not guilty" verdict, and hug each other as they shout expressions of divine gratitude.

The defendant's attorney turns to his client and asks, "So, what do you think about that?" The defendant looks
around the courtroom slowly with a bewildered look on his face and then turns to his defense attorney and says, "I'm real confused here. Does this mean that I don't have to give all the money back?

Three guys are convicted of a very serious crime, and they're all sentenced to twenty years in solitary confinement.
They're each allowed one thing to bring into the cell with them. The first guy asks for a big stack of books. The second guy asks for his wife. And the third guy asks for two hundred cartons of cigarettes. At the end of the twenty years, they open up the first guy's cell.

He comes out and says, "I studied so hard. I'm so bright now, I could be a lawyer. It was terrific."

They open up the second guy's door. He comes out with his wife, and they've got five new kids. He says. "It was
the greatest thing of my life. My wife and I have never been so close. I have a beautiuful new family. I love it."

They open up the third guy's door, and he's slapping at his pockets, going "Anybody got a match?"

A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take it with you."

After much thought and consideration, the old ambulance chaser
finally figured out how to take at least some of his money with
him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to the bank and
withdraw enough money to fill two pillowcases. He then directed
her to take the bags of money to the attic and leave them
directly above his bed. His plan: When he passed away, he would
reach out and grab the bags on his way to Heaven.

Several weeks after the funeral, the deceased lawyer's wife, up
in the attic cleaning came upon the two forgotten pillowcases
stuffed with cash. "Oh, that old fool," she exclaimed. "I knew he
should have had me put the money in the basement."

My wife and I were having serious difficulties in our marriage. I came
homefrom work one day, and she said, "We need to talk." She said, "Our
sex life is in a lot of trouble." I replied, "Yes it is."

She said to me, "Please, tell me all your sexual fantasies." And my
answer to her was, "Why, you're not in any of them."

With that she went to divorce court.

In Miami, the jurors in a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the
tobacco industry were ordered by the judge to not see the new movie "The
Insider", because it might influence their verdict. He also ordered them
not to see "The House on Haunted Hill".

The prosecutor was surprised to hear this instruction and he said "I
understand why you've instucted the jurors to not see 'The Insider', but
why should they avoid the second movie, your Honour?".

Being quick and to the point, the judge firmly stated "Because it sucks!"

One day at a trial, an eminent psychologist was called to
testify. A severe no nonsense professional, she sat down in
the witness chair unaware that it's rear legs were set
precariously on the back of the raised platform.

"Will you state your name?" asked the district attorney.

Tilting back in her chair she opened her mouth to answer, but
instead catapulted head-over-heels backward and landed in a
stack of exhibits and recording equipment.

Everyone watched in stunned silence as she extricated
herself, rearranged her disheveled dress and hair and was
reseated on the witness stand. The glare she directed at
onlookers dared anyone to so much as smirk.

"Well, doctor," continued the district attorney without changing
expression, "we could start with an easier question."

Amanpreet was hauled up on assault charges. And it wasn't
the first time Preet was standing in front of this particular
judge.

The judge eyed Preet sternly and said, "It says here that you
beat up your friend Jon. This isn't the first time you two have
come to blows. Tell me why I shouldn't send you off to jail."

"Well, your honour, it's like this," Lizard Pecker began, "we
were in the bar, sitting real peaceful. Then, Jon turns to me
and said, 'you know, Preet, the only damned reason you're
behaving is you're afraid of that asshole judge.' Well, Your
Honour, when he said that about you, I just busted him in
the mouth."

"Nasty looking crew you got to handle out there this morning, Judge,"
said the bailiff. "Where did the cops find all those crooks?"

His Honour replied, "Harrison, the crooks won't be here for another
fifteen minutes. Those are the lawyers."

An attorney had just finished a consultation with an
elderly, nearly blind widow, for which he charged her
$100. The widow opened her purse and removed a $100
bill. When the lawyer accepted it, he noticed there was
another 100 stuck to it. Immediately the lawyer's keen
legal mind realized he was faced with a vital ethical
question:

Should he tell his partner?

Uncensored Jokes

A lady about seven months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man
opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man
seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,
She complained to the driver and had the man arrested.

The case came up
in court. The judge asked the man what he had to say for himself.

The
man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: when the lady got on
the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sign
that said "The Gold Dust Twins are coming," and I had to smile. "Then
she moved and sat under a sign that said "Sloan's Liniment will reduce
the swelling" and I had to grin. "Then she placed herself under a sign
that said "William's Big Stick Did the Trick" and I could hardly control
myself. "BUT...when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that
said "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this accident," I laughed out
loud."

"Case Dismissed!" said the Judge.

Dan married one of a pair of identical twin girls. Less than a
year later, he was in court filing for a divorce. "OK," the judge
said, "Tell the court why you want a divorce."

"Well, your Honour," Dan started, "Every once in a while my
sister in law would come over for a visit, and because she
and my wife are so identical looking, every once in a while I'd
end up making love to her by mistake."

"Surely there must be some difference between the two
women." the judge said.

"You'd better believe there is a difference, your honor. That's
why I want the divorce." he replied.
