How To Tell a Certain Lawyer Joke

April 3, 2006 2:59 AM

ere's one way to tell it:

Man, it's cold outside. In fact, it's so cold that the lawyers have their hands in their own pockets.

Here's another way to tell it:
Man, it's cold outside. In fact, it's so cold that the lawyers
have their hands in their own pockets.

See the difference? Here's the real question, though: which is the correct way to tell it? Let me know your answer in the comments.

CAUTION: answering wrong means you're probably a tool, and idiot, unfunny or all three.

Clearly it's the second way.

I'll give you credit, A Mart -- you really know how to nurse a grudge.

The emphasis is on the "own". The way I know this is that last night I had a vision that told me to go in to the woods and find either a burning bush, or an angel. Now, seeing as I was only partially drunk at the time, I decided to go. Apperently both the bush and angel had left merely 5 minutes before (that was the only explanation for their absence), but instead I found two sets of golden plates. Now, of course, the plates were not written in english, but I feel like I really got a feel for what they said. After sifting through all kinds of ironically pro-abortion, anti-deathpenalty, pro-gay-marriage rhetoric, I was ablt to find a section that did indeed say that the correct way to say the joke was with the emphasis on the "own". It also said that anyone who disagrees with me is a dirty communist pinko who will burn in the fires of hell. Snap!!!!

On a sidenote, since technology frightens me, I screwed up and forgot to sign the last statement.

yeah, it's clearly the second, why would putting the emphasis on the word "lawyers" be funny? the joke is that they are dipping into their pockets instead of their clients. the emphasis in any joke should always be on the word that the hilarity hinges on...
