Pair arrested after telling lawyer jokes

[ruminator]

Arrested and charged for telling lawyer jokes.

yeeesh, Our society is in trouble.

<clip>

The line leading into First District Court in Hempstead Monday morning was long and frustrating, but it was the punch line in a lawyer joke that got two rabble-rousing comedians arrested.

<clip>

But while that rib and several others on barristers got some giggles from the crowd, the attorney standing in line about five people ahead wasn't laughing.

" 'Shut up,' the man shouted," L****** said. "'I'm a lawyer.'"

The attorney reported K*** and L****** to court personnel, who arrested the men and charged them with engaging in disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

"They put the handcuffs on us, brought us into a room, frisked us, sat us down and checked our driver's licenses to see if there were any warrants out for our arrest," L******* said yesterday. "They were very nasty, extremely nasty."

<clip>

Court jesters

Harvey K****** and Carl L***** poked fun of lawyers while in line at First District Court in Hempstead yesterday - but court officers weren't laughing. Here are some of the jokes that got them in hot water:

Q: What do you say to a lawyer with an IQ of 50?

A: Good morning, Your Honor.

Q: How do you tell if a lawyer is lying?

A: His lips are moving.

Q: Why do they bury lawyers 100 feet into the ground?

A: Because down deep, they're good people.

Q: What's the difference between a vulture and a lawyer?

A: Wing tips.

Rumi, I thought the same thing, too...until I saw that they were "founders of Americans for Legal Reform, a group of outspoken advocates who use confrontational tactics to push for greater access to courts for the public and to monitor how well courts serve the public."

Hmmmm...call me cynical, but I think getting arrested was exactly what they set out to do that day.

Now, not only did they gain national and international attention and tons of free publicity for their little organization, but they also have Ron Kuby on board now as *You gotta love the irony*...their defense attorney!

All car salesmen are honest.

Insurance company employees are wonderful.

Auto mechanics never make mistakes.

Heating and AC people never install old parts and bill you.

Computer repair people are all geniuses.

Realtors actually earn 6 percent commissions for doing, um, not much.

Und so weiter...

Q: What's the difference between a lawyer and a carp?

A: One is an ugly, smelly, scum-sucking bottom feeder, the other is a fish.

Q: What does a lawyer have in common with a sperm?

A: A one in a 2.75 billion chance of becoming human.

hmmm,...I sense a well orchestrated plot. I agree with what you saw in the situation.

They could've been charged for passing old bad jokes. The least they could have done was get new material.

Freedom of speech only exists for those who keep their mouths shut.

You know what you have when you've got 500 lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?

Not enough sand...

(ba-dum chink!)

 

[ruminator]

Maybe someone could take up a collection for bail money if that gets ugly.

I'd hope the legals here understand this is all in fun, right?............all in fun, right?




....hey...?

A lawyer was filling out a job application when he came to the question: "Have you ever been arrested?"

He answered no to the question.

The next question, intended for those who answered the preceding question with a yes, was "why?" Nevertheless, the lawyer answered it "Never got caught."

What's the difference between a dead lawyer and a dead dog in the street?

There were skid marks in front of the dog.

Which makes the lawyer who had them arrested look an even bigger fool. If he had just laughed along with everyone else (which I think most people would have done) nothing would have happened...

But now he's given them the publicity they were looking for.

Lanzisera _ egged on by Kuby and partner Curtis Sliwa _ used his radio appearance to tell a few more lawyer jokes.

Kuby said he was already working on his opening statement for the pair's scheduled Feb. 8 court appearance: "Judge, take my clients _ please."

In defense of my clients, Your Honor, they were merely a victim of an author.......stop me if you've heard this one already.
