George and Lenny decide to cross North America in a hot air balloon. However, neither were particularly experienced balloonists, and Lenny's mind quickly drifted from navigation to thoughts of how clouds look like cuddly little bunny rabbits. Upon realizing that they were lost, George declared, "Lenny -- we are going to have to lose some altitude so we can figure out where we are."
George lets some hot air out of the balloon, which slowly descended below the clouds, but he still couldn't tell where they were. Far below, they could see a man on the ground. George lowered the balloon, to ask the man their location.
When they were low enough, George called down to the man, "Hey, can you tell us where we are?" The man on the ground yelledback, "You're in a balloon, about 100 feet up in the air."
George Called down to the man, "You must be a lawyer." "Gee, George," Lenny replied, "How can you tell?" George answered, "Because the advice he gave us is 100% accurate, and is completely useless".
The man called back up to the balloon, "You must be a client." George yelled back, "Why do you say that?" "Well," the man replied, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You got into your predicament through a lack of planning, and could have avoided it by asking for help before you acted. You expect me to provide an instant remedy. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."

Satan was complaining bitterly to God, "You made the world so that it was not fair, and you made it so that most people would have to struggle every day, fight against their innate wishes and desires, and deal with all sorts of losses, grief, disasters, and catastrophes. Yet people worship and adore you. People fight, get arrested, and cheat each other, and I get blamed, even when it is not my fault. Sure, I'm evil, but give me a break. Can't you do something to make them stop blaming me?"
And so God created lawyers.

Max Reede: My dad? He's... a liar. Teacher: A liar? I'm sure you don't mean a liar. Max Reede: Well, he wears a suit and goes to court and talks to the judge. Teacher: Oh, you mean he's a lawyer.

You probably have all heard about the American Bar Association suing the National Institute of Health over the decision to use lawyers instead of lab rats. The NIH won, because the court found that lab assistants tend to get too attached to rats, but don't have that problem with lawyers. Also,PETA gets upset about doing nasty things to rats but no one cares if you experiment on lawyers. Lastly, the court observed that there are some things even a rat won't do...
Number 9 -- Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 8 --- Men have two emotions : Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.
Number 7 --- Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 6 --- Some people are like a Slinky - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
Number 5 -- Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospitals, dying of nothing.
Number 4 -- All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 3 -- Why does a slight tax increase cost you $800.00, and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00?
Number 2 -- In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
And The Number 1 Thought -- Life is like a jar of Jalapeno peppers--what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. - - - and as someone recently said to me: "Don't worry about old age--it doesn't last that long".

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
