True story about a law firm

Everyone loves lawyer jokes, except of course for lawyers, who don't possess a sense of humor, or at least not one of which I am cognizant.
Anyway, in Amsterdam there's a zoo called Artis. Companies can adopt an animal or a group of animals to show the world they're not just egotistical capitalists, but have a heart too.
Guess which animals were adopted by a law firm?
That's right, the vultures.

A boat with 3 men in it crashed into a rock about 100 meters from shore stranding the occupants. They were a lawyer, a doctor and a stock broker. Between the boat and shore were thousands of sharks circling in for the kill. "Somebody has to swim to shore and get help," said one.

"I would go,' said the doctor, "but I have patients who would perish if I were not there to treat them." "I would go," said the stockbroker, "but I'm the only one who knows the investments I made for my clients and they would go broke if anything happened to me."

"I'll go," said the lawyer who prmptly jumped into the water and started to swim to shore. The sharks parted and created a path as the lawyer swam to shore.

"What the hell do you call that?" asked the stockbroker. "That," said the doctor, "is what is known as professional oourtesy."

Who said we lawyers have no sense of humor?

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
