Lawyer Jokes

I used to carry a database of hundreds of these jokes in my old Psion, so that if someone started telling them, I could outgun him. So Colin’s collection today has only one I haven’t seen before – with the punchline "Chelsea Clinton." Wander over and take a look; there are some classics.

We lawyers know that these jokes are a sign of your affectionate regard for our profession and that you all know how essential we are to a free society. Or maybe you’re just jealous. Either way, we’re relaxed.

    I bet politicians tell themselves the same about politician jokes.

    I actually liked the legal disclaimer best. Growing up in Scotland, home of narrow mindedness and related jokes we didn’t really have lawyer jokes. It was almost always to do with people of colour, homosexuals Frenchmen or Germans or other people that were not like us. I understand now that it was all to do with our overbearing inferiority complex.
    Glad you can appreciate the jokes. I hate to give my blog friends a hard time.

    Looking suave, Tom. By the way, there’s a piece you might be interested in.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
