Yeah, Kim. After being a court reporter for a lot of years, I count a lot of lawyers and judges as friends and I think I've heard 90 per cent of the lawyer jokes I've ever heard — including this one — from them. Most don't take themselves so seriously they can't laugh at themselves and they know their profession is one that doesn't always put them first in the hearts and minds of the public. Neither does mine. Goes with the territory. As far as the jokes go, they've been around for a long time. Which of Shakespeare's plays is that a character, musing on what he would do if he ruled the world, said something to the effect "first, we kill all the lawyers."

C'est la vie....
