How cold was it? It was so cold, I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

Lawyer's creed: A man is innocent until proven broke.

A man learns he has a terminal illness and calls his lawyer. He tells his lawyer he wants to become a lawyer and wants to enroll in the express law school. The lawyer gets him signed up and 4 days later the man gets his law degree. The lawyer comes to him on his
death bed and asks "Why did you go to all that trouble?" The man coughs and wheezes and with his dying breath says "One less lawyer."
