They've sued the young, the old and the dead so far. What better example to set than "not

{A Dublin lawyer died in poverty and many barristers of the city subscribed to a fund for
his funeral. The Lord Chief Justice of Orbury was asked to donate a shilling. "Only a
shilling?" said the Justice, "Only a shilling to bury an attorney? Here's a guinea; go and
bury 20 more of them." }

Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?
A: His lips are moving.

Q. What's the difference between a lawyer and a gigolo?
A. A gigolo only screws one person at a time.
