Not all of them. Only 99.7% of them.They are born without a heart.There was an argument in heaven.Heaven called down to hell and told them to put up a fence because it is just not right to walk back and forth from hell to heaven.Hell said that they have talked to their lawyers and it appears that it is heavens problem.Heaven need to check with their lawyers.Heaven said that they will check on it and would call back later.In five min heaven called that they could not find a lawyer in heaven therefore heaven will put up a tall fence.

gsingh1, where do you get off saying Lawyers are worst (sic) than prostitutes? I think you have lost sight of the fact that we live in a complicated society run under the rule of law. If we need specialists to help us navigate the "system", is it any different than being at the mercy of a mechanic when your car breaks down or a real estate agent when you want to sell your house? I mean, consider the alternative, where we live under a system where disputes are settled by arbitrary, capricious and inconsistent whims of a local strongman, or your will is enforced against someone else depending on how many goons you can muster to intimidate their goons. Sure, its not perfect. Some would say trial lawyers have run amok, getting fat off of deep-pocket suits against corporations and insurance companies. But the beautiful thing is that we can turn to our lawmakers in Congress and state houses to implement tort reform just as soon as a majority of us realize that this could be a problem. Believe me, if your congressman gets 100 letters or phone calls on a particular subject, he will perceive it as a trend and the will of his constituency. That and some well focused PAC money, and BAM, there's your tort reform. So don't go slamming lawyers. How about that neighbor of yours down the street who hurt his back and got 1000's of $? How about that body shop who you took your car to that bilked a few extra $ out of your auto insurance? How about that lady who you rear ended and she ended up with a bundle courtesy of your car insurance? It ain't lawyers making them do it, it is a system of laws and everyone's greed to get a piece of pie that they may not deserve.
