Tax regs? Try watching Teletubbies over and over and over...

Via the Billable Hour comes the following greeting card/comic:

Stimulating chitchat there, el presidente.

I sure feel safe.

Don't look at me. I didn't say it.

Having never been to North Dakota, I have no comment--no comment--whatsoever regarding this lawyer's statement during a deposition--this is especially so if you, dear reader, happen to hail from this fine, fine state:

A: There are very few production places in North Dakota.

ATTORNEY: Generally speaking, there are very few places in North Dakota.

How to drum up business.

Another lawyer joke:

A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"

"But why?" asks the man.

"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.

Lawyers in love

Well said, George. Well said.

It's all a matter of perspective.

A joke for your Wednesday reading pleasure:

A doctor, a lawyer and a mathematician were discussing the relative merits of having a wife or a mistress.

The lawyer says: "For sure a mistress is better. If you have a wife and want a divorce, it causes all sorts of legal problems.

The doctor says: "It's better to have a wife because the sense of security
lowers your stress and is good for your health.

The mathematician says: "You're both wrong. It's best to have both so that when the wife thinks you're with the mistress and the mistress thinks you're with your wife, you can do some mathematics.

Spitzer finds his true calling.
