"A judge is merely a lawyer who has been benched."

I found this little book to be very entertaining.I have a lawyer friend and always pick up these "Lawyer" books for him when I see them.As a fan of one-liners these books are some of the best. Usually the Lawyer jokes are pretty mean ,but this book tends more to good humor,wit and a lot of stories, experiences, plus some deep seated wisdom.The book gives the source of each quip and has a very helpful Index of Names where you can look for a quote. For example: Otto von Bismark,Prussian Prince (1815-1898) "If you like laws and sausages,you should never watch either being made." This little,but thick book has 288 pages ,quotes from over 400 people giving one or two quotes and others giving 3,4 or 5. These people come from every walk of life and will surely include many of your favorite people. Here,s what Mae West had to say: "It ain't no sin to crack a few laws now and then,just so long as you don't break any." And here is another good one: "FOR A GOOD TIME, HIRE A HOOKER. FOR A LOT OF TIME,HIRE MY ATTORNEY." -Prison wall graffiti- A great little tome for a hot afternoon with a cool drink in the shade.
