Mr. Pieuk, you seem to derive great pleasure from taking swipes at the legal profession surely you must have a favourite lawyer joke?

Your Blog is doing an excellent job informing the general public about the law. Keep up the good work!

Practicing Lawyer (Tuxedo)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Anonymous:

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, we have a profound respect for the world's oldest, most honourable profession. Here is it:

A business owner hiring a new employee decides to ask an off the wall question at the end of the interview to see how candidates react - what is 2 + 2?

First up an Engineer: "I can use advanced mathmetical theorms and calculus to definitively demonstrate 2 + 2 = 4!"

Next the Accountant: "Employing generally accepted accounting principles, accrual accounting and deferred expenses 2 +2 = 4!"

The Lawyer: Gets up, walks over to the window and closes the blinds. "What would you like it to be?"

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
