Car trouble for three friends...

Three friends, a Rabbi, a Hindu holy man and a lawyer, had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the night with a farmer.

The farmer said, "There might be a problem; you see, I only have room for two to sleep, so one of you must sleep in the barn." "No problem," chimed the Rabbi, "My people wandered in the desert for forty years, I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for an evening in their memory." With that he departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night.

Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door. There stood the Rabbi from the barn. "What's wrong?" asked the farmer. He replied, "I am grateful to you, good sir, but I can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the barn and my faith believes that is an unclean animal."

His Hindu friend agreed to swap places with him. But a few minutes later the same scene reoccurred. There was a knock on the door. "What's wrong, now?" the farmer asked. The Hindu holy man replied, "I too am grateful for your helping us out but there is a cow in the barn and in my country cows are considered sacred. I can't sleep on holy ground!"

Well, that left only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn.

Moments later there was another knock on the farmers door.

Frustrated and tired, the farmer opened the door, and there stood...

The pig and the cow.

Certainly, I've given it that a thought.

And, oh, btw...my Dad was an attorney...I've heard 'em all. Or, at least most of 'em.

The horrible t***h is that 60% of the lawyers in the entire world are in America. I wonder what percentage of them practice or live in Washington, D.C?

My dad and many of his attorney friends had more integrity than most professionals I knew outside the legal field...especially doctors. No one likes attorneys...until they need one.

The old lawyers pre 1950's were a different breed than those we have today although I had a great uncle lawyer who they said that every time he went to town they had to retake the census. He was shot at by a jealous husband downtown in what was, at that time, a small Florida town.

Won't it be great when we k**l the islamic terrorist to a degree where they once again begin to fear for their lives and settle down for a couple hundred years before we have to start over again. Then, the American military can get back to what we have the most fun doing, fighting each other.
