I tell ya, my dog is lazy. He don't chase cars. He sits on the curb and takes down license plate numbers.

Rodney Dangerfield~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


According to a news story, if global warming continues, in 20 years the only chance we'll have to see a polar bear is in a zoo. So in other words, nothing is going to change.
~~

When I overheard one of my cashiers tell a customer, "We haven't had it for a while, and I doubt we'll be getting it soon," I quickly assured the customer that we would have whatever it was she wanted by next week. After she left, I read the cashier the riot act.

"Never tell the customer that we're out of anything. Tell them we'll have it next week," I instructed her. "Now, what did she want?"

"Rain."
~~

Our family took shelter in the basement after hearing a tornado warning. My husband told everyone to stay put while he got his cell phone out of the car, in case the lines went dead.

He didn't return for the longest time, so I went looking for him. I was upstairs calling his name, when I heard our phone machine click on.

"Hi," a voice said. "This is Dad. I'm locked out of the house."
~~

Q: Who invented copper wire?
A: Two tax attorneys fighting over a penny.
~~

I was a brand-new attorney in practice alone, and I had a likewise inexperienced secretary fresh out of high school. The importance of proofreading the results of my dictation was highlighted one day when a reminder to a client's tenant to pay her rent or suffer eviction was transcribed as follows:

"You are hereby notified that if payment is not received within five business days, I will have no choice but to commence execution proceedings."
~~

I was once a legal secretary to a young law clerk who passed the bar exam on his third try. This fledgling attorney worked hard on his initial pleading, which should have read "Attorney at Law" at the top of the first page.

After I submitted the finished document for his review and signature, I was embarrassed when he pointed out a critical typing error. "Must you rub it in?" he asked.

I had typed: "Attorney at Last."
~~

As a potential juror in an assault-and-battery case, I was sitting in a courtroom, answering questions from both sides. The assistant district attorney asked such questions as: Had I ever been mugged? Did I know the victim or the defendant?

The defense attorney took a different approach, however. "I see you are a teacher," he said. "What do you teach?"

"English and theater," I responded.

"Then I guess I better watch my grammar," the defense attorney quipped.

"No," I shot back. "You better watch your acting."

When the laughter in the courtroom died down, I was excused from the case.
~~

As a judge, I was sentencing criminal defendants when I saw a vaguely familiar face. I reviewed his record and found that the man was a career criminal, except for a five-year period in which there were no convictions.

"Milton," I asked, puzzled, "how is it you were able to stay out of trouble for those five years?"

"I was in prison," he answered. "You should know that—you were the one who sent me there."

"That's not possible," I said. "I wasn't even a judge then."

"No, you weren't the judge," the defendant countered, smiling mischievously. "You were my lawyer."
~~

The judge had not yet put in an appearance in the San Diego traffic court. When the bailiff entered the courtroom, he sensed the nervousness of the traffic offenders awaiting their ordeal.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "Welcome to 'What's My Fine?' "
~~

Sidewalks were treacherous after a heavy snowstorm blanketed the University of Idaho campus. Watching people slip and slide, I gingerly made my way to class.

Suddenly I found myself on a clean, snow-free section of walkway. This is weird, I thought— until I noticed that it was directly in front of the College of Law building.
!~~

A young man I know, who recently became law clerk to a prominent New Jersey judge, was asked to prepare a suggested opinion in an important case. After working on the assignment for some time, he proudly handed in a 23-page document.

When he got it back, he found a terse comment in the judge's handwriting on page 7: "Stop romancing—propose already."
~~

n Fort Worth, Texas, I was hauled before the judge for driving with expired license plates. The judge listened attentively while I gave him a long, plausible explanation.

Then he said with great courtesy, "My dear sir, we are not blaming you—we're just fining you."
~~

I am a deputy sheriff assigned to courthouse security. As part of my job, I explain court procedures to visitors. One day I was showing a group of ninth-graders around. Court was in recess and only the clerk and a young man in custody wearing handcuffs were in the courtroom. "This is where the judge sits," I began, pointing to the bench. "The lawyers sit at these tables. The court clerk sits over there. The court recorder, or stenographer, sits over here. Near the judge is the witness stand and over there is where the jury sits. As you can see," I finished, "there are a lot of people involved in making this system work."

At that point, the prisoner raised his cuffed hands and said, "Yeah, but I'm the one who makes it all happen."
~~

While prosecuting a robbery case, I conducted an interview with the arresting officer. My first question: "Did you see the defendant at the scene?"

"Yes, from a block away," the officer answered.

"Was the area well lit?"

"No. It was pretty dark."

"Then how could you identify the defendant?" I asked, concerned.

Looking at me as if I were nuts, he answered, "I'd recognize my cousin anywhere."
~~

Arrested on a robbery charge, our law firm's client denied the allegations. So when the victim pointed him out in a lineup as one of four men who had attacked him, our client reacted vociferously.

"He's lying!" he yelled. "There were only three of us."
~~

Hello everyboomie. welcome


I hope all is well with all Boomers out there this evening. yes


Things are copacetic here. We hit 103 degrees today, and now have thunderstorms heading our way to cool it back down a bit. penguin


Tomorrow is supposed to be only 93 degrees. Brrrrr! razz


I don't have a lot to do this week until Thursday. My light fixture in the kitchen started to strobe, and I can't fix it so I have ordered new fixtures for the kitchen and laundry room. They'll be here Thursday. bravo


Here's a whole weeks' worth of new jokes for you to enjoy. thumbsup


Stay safe everyone and have a great week. hamster

Hey all! It's a real challenging week so far. I could use some prayers for my BIL. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer yesterday. It was a complete and total shock to us all.

BET, many good thoughts your way. Wishing the best. lab

Glad the weather's cooling off a bit. Still too humid for me most of the time. Turn AC off in morning and open window to let in nice 60 deg breeze. AC back on by 10 as temps start to climb.

My dog makes me laugh. He'll be sound asleep. Then play day person comes to pick him up. They gave a key. Minute the lock moves, he's up like a flash and howling. The sudden change in his demeanor from dream world to wide awake full energy just tickles my funny bone. rolleyes

It's Friday! Not officially the end of the work week for me yet, but only tomorrow morning left to work and then officially free. We are celebrating my grandsons birthday tomorrow even though he was born early October so we can hold his party outside. Strange times indeed.

Thank you all for the best wishes for my brother-in-law. It's been a really strange and sad week.
