Lawyer fun (NA)

[Eamon]

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Sheriff's Deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the Deputy because he is sure that he has a better education. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense...Deputy says, "License and registration, please." Lawyer says, "What for?" Deputy says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign .." Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming." Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please." Lawyer says, "What's the difference?" Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!" Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket, if not you let me go and no ticket." Deputy says, "Exit your vehicle, sir." At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says: "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

A lawyer is speaking to his son about Ethics and the Law.

"Son," he says, grimly opening his wallet and pulling out a crisp five hundred dollar bill, "your favorite client comes in with a problem. You discuss the issue, resolve the issue, and share a glass of scotch, all within the timeframe of his appointment. To show his gratitude, he pays you immediately with a crisp, five hundred dollar bill."

The son nods as he is listening.

"After your client leaves, you realize that he has paid you with not one, but two bills." The man of law rubs the bill between his index finger and thumb, and a second bill appears, stuck to the first.

"Now," continues the father, "here is the ethics question:

Do you split the money with your partner, or not?"
