nelsontedThe dying preacher's visitors
Subject: THE PREACHER
An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his
lawyer, both church members, to come to his home. When they arrived, they
were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held
out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The
preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the
ceiling. for a time, no one said anything.
Both the IRS agent and the attorney were touched and flattered that the old
preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moment. They were
also puzzled because the preacher had never given any indication that he
particularly liked either one of them. Finally, the lawyer asked, "Preacher,
why did you ask the two of us to come?"
The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died
between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too."

As a retired lawyer, I have never had a moment's peace from lawyer jokes. Even before I retired I heard - a lawyer falls overboard from a cruise ship into shark infested waters. The sharks form a column of twos and escort the lawyer back to the ship. As he is hauled aboard the captain says" That's a miracle!" The lawyer says "Not really. Just professional courtesy".
I had to travel to Zimbabwe and listen to my PH. Just when he should have been giving me tips on how to deal with DG he told me the following - A lion is seen by other lions eating road kill. The lion explains that he just ate a lawyer and wanted to get the taste out of his mouth.
Just remember that if you go to hell, you may need a lawyer. (There aren't any in the other place)
