Week 10 EOC: Lawyer Jokes

Lawyer Joke #1: Lawyer's Heart
A man has a heart attack and is brought to the hospital emergency room. The doctor tells him that he will not live unless he has a heart transplant right away. Another doctor runs into the room and says, "You're in luck, two hearts just became available, so you will get to choose which one you want. One belongs to lawyer and the other to a social worker".
The man quickly responds, "The lawyer's!". The doctor says, "Wait! Don't you want to know a little about them before you make your decision?" The man says, "I already know enough. We all know that social workers are bleeding hearts and the lawyer's probably never used his. So I'll take my chance with the attorney's!"

Lawyer Joke #2: Honest Lawyer
An old man was on his death bed, and wanted to be buried with his money. He called his priest, his doctor and his lawyer to his bedside. "Here's $30,000 cash to be held by each of you. I trust you to put this in my coffin when I die so I can take all my money with me."
At the funeral, each man put an envelope in the coffin. Riding away in a limousine, the priest suddenly broke into tears and confessed, "I only put $20,000 into the envelope because I needed $10,000 to repair the roof of the church."
"Well, since we're confiding in each other," said the doctor, "I only put $10,000 in the envelope because we needed a new X-ray machine for the pediatrics ward at the hospital which cost $20,000."
The lawyer was aghast. "I'm ashamed of both of you," he exclaimed. "I want it known that when I put my envelope in that coffin, I enclosed a check for the full $30,000."

Lawyer Joke #3: DUI
A doctor and a lawyer got into a car accident, on a small country road. The lawyer had figured that nobody else would be on the road, and had raced through a stop sign. The doctor, on a cross street, had no time to react and couldn't have missed the lawyer if he had tried. Fortunately, neither driver was hurt.
The lawyer, seeing that the doctor was a little shaken up, helped him from his battered car and offered him a drink from a hip flask. The doctor accepted, took a deep drink, and handed the flask back to the lawyer. The lawyer held the flask for a minute or two, and gave it to the doctor again. The doctor took another swig. He again returned the flask to the lawyer, who closed it and put it away.
"Aren't you going to have a drink yourself?" asked the doctor.
"Not now," answered the lawyer. "I'll have something after the police leave."

Week 9 EOC: Wall Street Journal

Technically, pot remains illegal across the nation. that's the concern in the high court system. even though its pass in some states it still is an issue for all the other states that pot is illegal to posse and grow, but what is stopping the people that live in the states like Colorado to traffic the pot around. 
“Justice warns that it will intervene if it discovers that marijuana is flowing to children or being trafficked to states where it is still illegal, though under federal law it is still illegal in all states.”

If pot can truly make a city economy grow through the sale of pot in located stores and meet all the testing need to pass for it to be "safe at your own use" then eventually more states will follow the legal right to posse pot.
"Maybe we'll be the hub of Colorado where we have the testing labs and have a lot of white-collar, good professional jobs contributing to our economy, testing the product from all over the state to ensure the state law is followed," said McFadyen. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/25/reefer-sadness-cities-battle-legal-pot-push/#ixzz2e7ziuheA
Why should the law come down on recreational users if it state legal. They should be more concern on the supliers of other states that are not legal to even posse the plant let alone smoke it.
"It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal," http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/aug/29/obama-sue-colorado-washington-marijuana-law
