LAWYER JOKE
A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.
The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute. "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least
$500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, Did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has
medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um... No."
Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted, "Or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "Leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..." On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again,"...So if I don't
give any money to them, so why should I give any to you?!?"

CLASSIC JOKE
The Sportsman Double
I picked up an older woman at a club last night.
She was a right sort for 67.
We drank a bit, had a bit of a conversation, and she asked if I'd ever had the Sportsman's Double.
I said I'm not sure what that was.
She said a mother and daughter three-some.
We drank a bit more, and then she says that tonight was my lucky night!
I said, "That sounds great, let's go!"
We went back to her place.
She put the hall light on and shouted upstairs:
"Mom you still awake?"
