Of Lawyers & Doctors...         April 15, 1998

 Having lawyers make laws is like having doctors make 
diseases.  And they sue each other in the process!  It's no 
wonder they hate each other's guts.  Ok, it's a lawyer-bashing 
day at LadyHawke's!  And yes, I will give lawyers a chance to 
redeem themselves.... Tomorrow!

I'll get to the doctors later...  {hehehe}

 "Insurance Proceeds"

A doctor vacationing on the Riviera met an old lawyer 
friend and asked him what he was doing there.

The lawyer replied, "Remember that lousy real estate I 
bought?  Well, it caught fire, so here I am with the fire 
insurance proceeds.  What are you doing here?"

The doctor replied, "Remember that lousy real estate I 
had in Mississippi?  Well, the river overflowed, and here 
I am with the flood insurance proceeds."

The lawyer looked puzzled. 
"Gee," he asked, "How do you start a flood?"

"An Accident"

A doctor and a lawyer in two cars collided on a country 
road. The lawyer, seeing that the doctor was a little shaken 
up, helped him from the car and offered him a drink from his 
hip flask.

The doctor accepted and handed the flask back to the lawyer, 
who carefully closed it and put it away. "Aren't you going to 
have a drink yourself?" asked the doctor.

"Sure; after the police leave," replied the lawyer.

"Taking It With You"

An old man was on his death bed. He wanted badly to take 
all his money with him.  He called his priest, his doctor and 
his lawyer to his bedside. 

"Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you.  I trust you 
to put this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money 
with me."

At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin.  
Riding away a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears 
and confessed that he had only put $20,000 into the envelope 
because he needed $10,000 for a new baptistery.

"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, 
"I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new 
machine at the hospital which cost $20,000."

The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he 
exclaimed.  "I want it  known that when I put my envelope in 
that coffin, it held my personal check for the full $30,000."
