Reminds me of yesterdays fortune:

"What do you have when a lawyer is buried up to his neck in sand? . . . . . . . . A: Not enough sand."

Q: What's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road vs. a dead skunk???

A: Skid marks in front of the skunk.

2 animals, a rabbit & a snake, both blind since birth, bump into one another in the forest. Both have no idea what kind of animal they are. They decide to feel each other, describe the other & tell one another what they think they are...

The snake goes first; "You're fluffy, warm, soft, have long ears & a bushy tail,... you must be a rabbit..."

The rabbit takes his turn; "You're scaly, slimy, low to the ground & have no balls,... you must be a lawyer..."

... Hey I have my JD, I've heard all of them...
