Lawyers jokes

"Lawyers typically aren't funny -- unless by accident. Case in point: The following questions from lawyers were taken from official court records nationwide...
  1. Was that the same nose you broke as a child?

  2. Now, doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until the next morning?

  3. Q: What happened then?
    A: He told me, he says, 'I have to kill you because you can identify me.'
    Q: Did he kill you?

  4. Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?

  5. The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

  12. Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?

    Q: Apparently, then, the date of conception was August 8?
    A: Yes.

    Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?

  18. Q: Have you lived in this town all your life?

  19. A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."
