Lawyer Joke Quiz - name that punchline

In a recent newsletter, I asked people to share lawyer jokes with me. And I also did a lawyer joke quiz, putting out a punchline and asking if people could identify the joke that goes with it.

Can you identify these jokes by their punchline?

"It's OK, I got him with the door."

"A good start!"

"They don't get as attached to the rats. Plus, there are some things a rat won't do."

OK here is the answer key - the jokes that go with the punchlines. Keep in mind - these are my own paraphrases of these jokes.


Got him with the door

There was a truck driver whose route took him every day right by the courthouse. Since he had no love for lawyers, he would always try to hit one or two of them who were walking along the rode as he drove by. Well, one day he was driving along and saw someone hitchhiking. He looked a little closer and it was a priest. He figured he better not drive past without stopping, so he picked up the priest. As they were getting closer to the courthouse, he thought "I better not hit any lawyers with the priest right here". But as he came up to the courthouse, he saw a great target walking right along the road and it was too tempting to pass up. So he begin to veer toward the lawyer with his truck. But at the last minute, he remembered the priest was there, so he swerved suddenly to miss the lawyer. But he still heard a thump and looked in the rearview mirror to see the lawyer rolling on the road. He turned to the priest and said, "Father, I'm sure I missed that lawyer back there." The priest said "That's OK, my son, I got him with the door."


A good start

What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.


The one about the rats

Did you hear that scientists are now using lab rats instead of lawyers for their science experiments? Yeah, the scientists don't get as attached to the lawyers. Plus, there are some things a rat just won't do.
