Because St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lawyer walked into a bar and sat down. The bartender looked up and noticed what looked like a frog growing out of the side of the side of the lawyer’s head. The bartender looked at the lawyer and said "Oh, my goodness -- how did such an awful thing happen?" Before the lawyer could say anything, the frog spoke up and said, "Well, it started off as a small wart on my fanny and it grew into this awful thing." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's the difference between a female lawyer and a pit bull?

The mathematician answered immediately, “Four.” The economist thought for several minutes and finally answered, “Four, plus or minus one.” Finally the lawyer stood up, peered around the room and motioned silently for the committee members to gather close to him. In a hushed, conspiratorial tone, he replied, “How much do you want it to be?” [NOTE: This joke is also told about accountants. We have many current examples ilustrating why.]
