An American colleague of mine recently told me proudly that his son was going to be a lawyer, but he did not forget to make fun of the profession as most Americans do, explaining that lawyers are thought of as having no heart. Indeed, there are tons of jokes about lawyers in English language. Here is one of them, just received from a lawyer friend. 

A young farm lad from North Iowa goes off to college, but about 1/3 of the way
Through the semester, he has foolishly squandered away all of the money his
Parents gave him.

Then he gets an idea.  He calls his daddy.  "Dad," he says, "you won't believe
The wonders that modern education is coming up with!  Why, they actually have a
Program here at Iowa State that will teach our dog    Ole Blue how to talk!"

"That's absolutely amazing," his father says.  "How do I get him in that program
Am?"

"Just send him down here with $1,000" the boy says.  "I'll get him into the
Course." So, his father sends the dog and the $1,000.  About 2/3 way through the
Semester, the money runs out.  The boy calls his father again.

"So how's ole Blue doing, son," his father asks.

"Awesome, Dad, he's talking up a storm," he says, "but you just won't believe
This - they've had such good results with this program that they've implemented
A new one to teach the animals how to READ!"

"READ," says his father, "No kidding!  What do I have to do to get him in that
Program?"

Just send $2,500, I'll get him in the class." His father sends the money.

The boy now has a problem.  At the end of the year, his father will find out
That the dog can neither talk, nor read.  So he shoots the dog.

When he gets home at the end of the semester, his father is all excited.
"Where's Ole Blue?  I just can't wait to see him talk and read something!"

"Dad," the boy says, "I have some grim news.  Yesterday morning, just before we
left to drive home, Ole Blue was in the living room kicked back in the recliner,
reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does.  Then he turned to me and
asked, 'So, is your daddy still messin' around with that little redhead who
lives in town?' The father says, "I hope you SHOT that son of a bitch before he
talks to your Mother!"

"I sure did, Dad!"

"That's my boy!"

(The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.......)

Hope my other lawyer friends will not get offended. Just a joke. J
