As with everything in life there are good lawyers and bad lawyers. I saw quite a few of the latter when working as an injury claims negotiator - believe me, some of those guys wouldn't have been able to spell ethical, let alone behave in that way.

By the same token there are mother-in-law jokes, Blonde jokes, jokes about banjo players and various national stereotypes. Where do we draw the line at the type of person you can poke fun at? I think that we all need to learn to laugh at ourselves and take with a large pinch of salt the jokes made about our own particular type.
