SUBJ: Perry Brando? Q. What do you get when you cross The Godfather with a lawyer? A. You get an offer you can't understand. ========================[ H U M O U R N E T ]======================= SUBJ: Stacked Deck An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer--you're in the wrong place." So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake! He should never have gotten down there; send him up here." Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?" ========================[ H U M O U R N E T ]======================= SUBJ: Justice, American Style The following exchange happened last March 5 on the show "Politically Incorrect," between Bill Maher, the host, and lawyer Leslie Abramson, who defended the Menendez brothers: Bill: When do lawyers give a damn about the facts? Leslie: When did you or Geraldo give a damn about the facts? Bill: You defended the Menendez kids. What do you care about facts? Leslie: I don't remember seeing you in the courtroom, Bill, so you absolutely don't know anything about the trial. Bill: I knew they blew their parents' heads off. Leslie: No, they didn't. They didn't blow their parents heads off. Bill: The Menendez kids didn't blow their parents heads off? Leslie: No! Bill: What did they do? Leslie: They unloaded shotguns in their direction.
