Pythagorean theorem: 24 words The Lord's Prayer: 66 words. Archimedes' Principle: 67 words. The 10 Commandments: 179 words. Lincoln's Gettysburg address: 286 words. The U.S. Declaration of Independence: 1,300 words. The U.S. Government regulations on the sale of cabbage: 26,911 words. The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.

Dave: Aha! Gotcha!. Lincoln's Gettysburg address was written by Lincoln himself - and he was a lawyer. It's alright. Your humble apology for insulting lawyers is accepted graciously. Just don't let it happen again. | |||

Virtually all lawmakers are lawyers. All lawyers hope to become judges. All judges were lawyers and or lawmakers. It's the ultimate racket. My dad used to say if all lawmakers were plumbers it would cost $10,000.00 to replace a water heater... and there'd be good reasons for it. Sei wach! | |||

In defence of plumbers. A plumber dies and, mistakenly, he is sent to Hell. After a few days, God realises the mistake and contacts the Devil, asking for the plumber to be given back. Surprised to hear the Devil is completely chilling ou, man, God asks how come? The Devil replies- no you cannot have him back. He has only been here two days and he has fixed the lava flush and cistern overflow problem, fitted a stop tap for the Lake of Misery inlet and installed air conditioning throughout. The guy is great! God is none too happy and threatens the Devil - you give him back right now, or I'll sue! (big drum roll!) And the Devil responds - Yeah, and where are you going to find a lawyer?! I thank you. | |||

Robthom: I heard that joke differently. The Devil erects a fence right outside the Pearly Gates. St. Peter comes rushing out and hollers at the Devil to take down the fence. The Devil refuses. St. Peter says: "I'll sue!" The Devil grins: Where will you get a lawyer?" | |||

Gerry, you might note that EVERYTHING on the list after the 10 commandments was written by lawyers. The prosecution rests! Cheers, Dave. Cheers, Dave. Aut Inveniam Viam aut Faciam. | |||
