The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up from the table and said, "I have to go back to the office; I forgot to lock the safe!"
"What are you worried about?" asked the other. "We're both here."

*****

A judge, bored and frustrated by a lawyer's tedious arguments, had made numerous rulings to speed the trial along. The attorney had bristled at the judge's orders, and their tempers grew hot. Finally, frustrated with another repetition of arguments he had heard many times before, the judge pointed to his ear and said, "Counsellor, you should be aware that at this point, what you are saying is just going in one ear and out the other."
"Your honour," replied the lawyer, "That goes without saying. What is there to prevent it?"

*****

A driver was pulled over for speeding by a police officer. As the officer was writing the ticket, she noticed several swords in the car.
"What are those for?" she asked.
"I'm a juggler," the man replied. "I use those in my act."
"Really? Why don't you show me?" the officer requested.
So he got out the swords and started juggling them: first three, then more, finally seven at one time, overhand, underhand, behind the back, putting on a dazzling show and amazing the officer.
As another car passed by, the driver did a double take looking at the cop and the juggler. Bewildered, he looked as his wife and said, "Wow! Look at the sobriety tests they're giving now."
