Pedestrian Lawyers
A truck
driver frequently traveled through a small town where there was a courthouse at the side
of the road. Of course, there were always lawyers walking along the road. The truck driver
made it a practice to hit any pedestrian lawyers with his truck as he sped by.
One day, he spotted a priest walking along the road and stopped to give him a ride. A
little further along, as he approached the town, he spotted a lawyer walking along the
side of the road.
Automatically, he veered his truck towards the lawyer, but...then he remembered his
passenger. He swerved back to the center, but he heard a
“whump” and in the rear
view mirror he spotted the lawyer rolling across the field.
He turned to the priest and said,
“Father, I'm
sure that I missed that lawyer.”
And the priest replied,
“That's OK,
my son, I got him with the door.”
