I have a large collection of lawyer jokes, but somehow I get the feeling this is not the proper thread for them. <G> Well, OK, since you asked, just one. A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial - it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A. No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away. Q. Officer, who provided this description? A. The officer who responded to the scene. Q. A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers? A. Yes sir, with my life. Q. With your life? Let me ask you this then officer - do you have a locker room in the police station - a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties? A. Yes sir, we do. Q. And do you have a locker in that room? A. Yes sir, I do. Q. And do you have a lock on your locker? A. Yes sir. Q. Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers? A. You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.

A Pope joke, good. I've got my own! The Pope was going to the airport after being picked up by a limo. The Pope asks the driver what it is like to drive a limo, how it handles, etc. The Pope, wanting to try out this limo driving thing, persuades the driver to let him have a go at the wheel. The driver is a bit hesitant, but goes along and they trade places, the driver riding in the back. The Pope manages to get pulled over before reaching the Vatican (the driver discovering, to his horror, that the Pope has a lead foot.) The police officer comes up to the window, asks for papers, and then (realization coming over him) apologizes profusely to the Pope. Not knowing what to do, he goes back to the cruiser and gets on the radio with the dispatcher. "Dispatch, I have a slight problem. What do I do if I just pulled over a VERY important person?" The dispatcher replies, "I don't know, who is it?" Officer: "Well, Im not sure but the Pope is driving - I think its God!" I love that joke. :) Derek
