Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive, double-pane, energy-efficient kind. Today, I got a call from Home Depot who installed them. He complained that the work had been completed a year ago and I still hadnt paid for them. Helloooo,............ just because Im blonde doesnt mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy told me last year... that these windows would pay for themselves in a year. Hellooooo? Its been a year, so theyre paid for, I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot. ........................................................................................................................ A man went to his lawyer and told him, My neighbour owes me $500 and he doesnt want to pay up. What should I do? Do you have any proof?, asked the lawyer. Nope, replied the man. Okay, then write him a letter asking him for the $1,000 he owes you, said the lawyer. But its only $500! replied the man. Precisely, thats what he will reply and we will have the proof we need, said the lawyer. ........................................................................................................................ The professor of a Contract Law class asked one of his better students, If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it? The student replied, Heres an orange. The professor was outraged.No! No! Think like a lawyer! The student then replied, Ok. I will tell him - I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title and advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before and hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognised the dog as belonging to a neighbour of his. The neighbour happened to be a lawyer. Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbour and said, Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat? The lawyer replied, Of course, how much was the roast? $7.98. A few days later the butcher received a cheque in the mail for for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read : Legal Consultation Service: $150. ........................................................................................................ The lawyers son wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps, so he went to law school. He graduated with Honours, and then went home to join his fathers legal firm. At the end of his first day at work he rushed into his fathers office, and said, Father, you know what, in one day I managed to solve the accident case that youve been working on for 10 years! His father responded : You idiot, we lived on the funding of that case for 10 years!
