Hurtful words often come in the form of seemingly good-natured teasing. Do you know how many girls have fallen into the clutches of eating disorders because they're teased about their "chubby cheeks" or whatever?

I'm not an attorney, but I very highly respect them. I get tired of all the lawyer jokes, ribbing, teasing, etc. After awhile, it just gets old. I know a couple of attorneys who, in social settings, won't tell people they're lawyers.

I've been involved in some matters where I would have lost my shirt if it had not been for the sharp eye of an attorney. So I just thought I'd try to be a voice that says, "I think lawyers are great" and I admire the profession.
The solution to this problem is you telling us what you do for a living so we can make fun of you instead.

If you love the USA, you should realize that our country has been shaped and led largely by lawyers.

There are bad lawyers. There are bad preachers. There are bad people. There are bad everything. Get used to it!
EA is just given me a hard time since I called him a drama queen.

The reason I became a lawyer is so I could be more like JESUS.

Does that sound holy enough?

Sickeningly Spiritual?

So it looks like I jumped into the middle of a fight that wasn't a fight and have no idea what I'm talking about.

I thought it was an old and rather lame joke....but fitting for the topic at hand.

Re: The Good Thing About Lawyers is...

One day, a lawyer named Carson Strange went shopping for his tombstone. After Carson made his selection, the stonecutter asked Carson what he wanted the epithet to say.

"Here lies Strange, an honest man and a lawyer," responded Carson.

The stonecutter furrowed his brow in bewilderment, then began slowly shaking his head. "Can't do that," he replied, "people will think we buried 'em three deep."

Then his eyes lit up with a different idea. "However, we could put on the tombstone, 'Here lies an honest lawyer.'"

"But how will they know who I am?" protested Carson.

"Are you kidding? Everybody will look at that tombstone and say, 'That's Strange.'"
