Best Lawyer Story



    The best lawyer story of all time . . . bar none.


    The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from
 the city's most successful lawyer. So aUnited Way volunteer paid the 
lawyer a visit in his lavish office.  
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, 'Our research shows that
even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't 
give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to 
your community through the United Way ?'  

The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, 'First, did your research  also
show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and 
she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?'  

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, 'Uh . . . no,
I didn't know  that.'   

   'Secondly,' says the lawyer, 'did it show that my brother, a 
disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is
unable  to support his wife and six children?'  

  The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology,
but is cut  off again.  

'Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's
husband  died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her
penniless with a mortgage  and three children,
one of whom is disabled and another that has  learning
disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?'   

The humiliatedUnited Way rep, completely beaten, says,
'I'm so  sorry, I had no idea.' 

   And the lawyer says, 'So . . . if I didn't give any 

money to them,  what makes you think I'd give any to you?

Remember the old-time Jewish comedians:


*  A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says,  "Are you 
comfortable? " The man says, "I make a good  living."

*  I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my  mother-in-law to
the  airport.


*  I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If  my wife
finds  out, she'll kill me!


*  Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be  reporting it.
The  thief spends less than my wife  did.


*  We always hold hands. If I let go, she  shops.


*  My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed.  My wife
calls it  the Dead Sea .


*  My wife and I revisited the hotel where we spent our  wedding
night. This  time I was the one who stayed in the bathroom  and 
cried.


*  My Wife was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was  only for
the  estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two  days. Then
the mud  fell off.


*  The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man  couldn't pay his
bill,  so the doctor gave him another six  months.


*  The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your  check came
back."  Mrs. Cohen replied, "So did my  arthritis!"


*  Doctor: "You'll live to be 60!" Patient: "I AM 60!"  Doctor: "See!
What  did I tell you?"


*  A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The  man asks,
"Doc, how  do I stand? " The doctor says, "That's what  puzzles  me!"

*  Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears. " Doctor: "Don't   answer!"


*  A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says,  "You've been
brought  here for drinking. " The drunk says,"Okay,  let's get 
started."


*Why  do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth  it.


*  Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want   to.


*The  Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why Jewish  women like
Chinese  food so much. The study revealed that the reason  for this is
because Won  Ton spelled backward is Not Now.  There  is a big
controversy on the  Jewish view of when life begins. In  Jewish
tradition, the fetus is not  considered viable until it  graduates
from law school.


Q  : Why don't Jewish mothers drink?
A : Alcohol  interferes with their  suffering.


*Q  : Have you seen the newest Jewish-American-Princess  horror movie?
A  : It's called, "Debbie Does  Dishes."


*Q  : Why do Jewish mothers make great parole  officers?
A : They never  let anyone finish a  sentence.


*A  man called his mother in Florida . "Mom, how are you?"  Not too
good,"  said the mother. "I've been very weak. " The son  said, "Why
are you so  weak?" She said, "Because I haven't eaten in  38 days."
The son said,  "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in  38 days? "
The mother  answered, "Because, I didn't want my mouth to  be full in
case you should  call."


*A  Jewish man said that when he was growing up, they  always had two
choices  for dinner - Take it or leave  it.


*A  Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother  he has a
part in  the play. She asks, "What part is it?" The boy  says, "I play
the part of  the Jewish husband. " The mother scowls  and says, "Go
back and tell the  teacher you want a speaking  part."


Q  : Where does a Jewish husband hide money from his  wife?
A : Under  the vacuum cleaner.


Q  : How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a  light bulb?
A :  (Sigh) "Don't bother. I'll sit in the dark.  I don't want to be a
  nuisance to anybody."


Short  summary of every Jewish holiday: They tried to kill  us, we
won, let's  eat.


A  Jewish mother gives her son a blue shirt and a brown  shirt for his
  birthday. On the next visit, he wears the brown  one.  The mother 
says, "What's the matter already? Didn't you  like the blue  one?"


Did  you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish  mother on the
street  and said, "Lady I haven't eaten in three days."  "Force
yourself," she  replied.


Q  : What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a  Jewish mother?
A  : Eventually, the Rottweiler lets  go.


Q  : Why are Jewish Men circumcised?
A : Because  Jewish women don't  like anything that isn't 20%  off

How Aspargus Got Its Name



A child was asked to write a book report on the entire 
Bible. Here is what he wrote;

The Children's Bible in a Nutshell
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there 
was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The 
Bible says, "The Lord thy God is one," but I think He 
must be a lot older than that.

Anyway, God said, "Give me a light!" and someone did.

Then God made the world.

He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were 

naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors 
hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, 
so they were driven from the Garden of Eden ... Not 
sure what they were driven in though, because they 
didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother 

as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early 
people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be 
like a million or something.

One of the next important people was Noah, who was 

a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. 
Noah built a large boat and put his family and some 
animals on it. He asked some other people to join 
him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.

After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob 

was more famous than his brother, Esau, because 
Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some 
pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore 
a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real 
name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel 
Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh 
after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. 
These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, 
and no cable.

God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. 

Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. 
These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or 
covet your neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy 
father and thy mother.

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was 

the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the 
battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing 

a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named 
Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 
porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that 
doesn't sound very wise to me.

After Solomon there were a bunch of major league 

prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was 
swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the 
shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but 
I guess we don't have to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament. 

Jesus is the star of The New Testament. He was 
born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been 
born in a barn too, because my mom is always 
saying to me, "Close the door! Were you born in a 
barn?" It would be nice to say, ''As a matter of fact, 
I was.'')

During His life, Jesus had many arguments with 

sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans. 
Jesus also had twelve opossums.  The worst one 
was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that 
they named a terrible vegetable after him.

Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards 

and even preached to some Germans on the 
Mount. But the Democrats and all those guys put 
Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't 
stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back 

to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back 
at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in 
the book of Revolution.

(Nothing bad will happen if you don't forward this, 

but if you do forward this delightful story you'll make 
someone LAUGH today, and they'll keep spreading
the laughter by sending it on!!)

Jessie the chicken plucker




Jesse was a chicken plucker. That's right.

He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days
Pulling the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us
Wouldn't have to.
It wasn't much of a job. But at the time,
Jesse didn't think he was much of a person.
His father was a brute of a man.
His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill
And treated Jesse rough all of his life.

Jesse's older brother wasn't much better.
He was always picking on Jesse and beating him up.
Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in
West Virginia. Life was anything but easy.
And he thought life didn't hold much hope for him.
That's why he was standing in this chicken line,
Doing a job that darn few people wanted.

In addition to all the rough treatment at home, it seems
That Jesse was always sick. Sometimes it was real
physical illness, but way too often it was all in his head.
He was a small child, skinny and meek.
That sure didn't help the situation any.

When he started to school, he was the object
of every Bully on the playground.
He was a hypochondriac of the first order.
For Jesse, tomorrow was not always something
he Looked forward to.

But, he had dreams. He wanted to be a ventriloquist.
He found books on ventriloquism. He practiced with
Sock puppets and saved his hard earned dollars until
He could get a real ventriloquist dummy.

When he got old enough, he joined the military.
And even though many of his hypochondriac symptoms
Persisted, the military did recognize his talents and
Put him in the entertainment corp.
That was when his world changed.
He gained confidence.

He found that he had a talent for making people laugh,
And laugh so hard they often had tears in their eyes.
Yes, little Jesse had found himself.

You know, folks, the history books are full of people
Who overcame a handicap to go on and make a success
Of themselves, but Jesse is one of the few I know of
Who didn't overcome it. Instead he used his paranoia
To make a million dollars, and become one of
The best-loved characters of all time in doing it!

Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who transferred
His nervousness into a successful career, still holds the
Record for the most Emmy's given in a single category.

The wonderful, gifted, talented, and nervous comedian
Who brought us Barney Fife
Was
Jesse Don Knotts.



NOW YOU KNOW, "THE REST OF THE STORY"
There is a street named for him and his statue in
MorgantownWest Virginia, his place of birth.
Jesse Donald "DonKnotts (July 21, 1924 - February 24, 2006)
