Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for January 22, 2010

It was either law or politics.

How about being a plastic surgeon, they make lots of money with little work. Then you could fix your fathers nose….

Hmmm! My sister is a lawyer who works for the government. Federal judge, before that prosecutor. I wonder if she’s earned the money to pay off Harvard yet?Oh yeah, I worked for the federal government as an underpaid drone for 25 years. I’m living real high off the hog. I may qualify for food stamps.

I’m going on 30 yrs, lew….now I know they just want me to die on the job so they only have to make one payment

Should have been how to get elected to congress. They do nothing & get paid big time (plus all the $$$ under the table).

I love this one. I’m cutting it out and sending it to my arrogant know-it-all brother in law.

It’s great that the rest of you all seem to know modern day Atticus Finches, but not me. I love the old joke:

Q: What do you call a bus full of lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A: A start.

maybeinthe nextworld

LOL on the joke.

So - do you hang out with your sister very much?

Weird, but I can’t think of a lawyer I know who is filthy rich and full of themself, but then I don’t hang out with those who are.

Right on! It’s Dusty in the pic! It’s like Where’s Waldo!LOL

I HATE lawyers! It’s a racket.

Not only is that Dusty Poodle, but isn’t that Stucco the Clown in the bookcase? Good to see them again. “Big Top” was one of the greatest comic strips never to make it.

As for lawyers, it’s like all the hard-working, dedicated teachers I know who constantly tell me how awful the public education system is. The entire legal system, though founded on solid principles, is tainted by all the scummy lawyers getting criminals off, chasing ambulances, scaring doctors into ordering more tests, and going into politics to pass more awful laws to benefit lawyers. Until that changes, lawyers deserve their fair share of public (and cartoon) scorn.

don’t waste your money on frivolous things and in the long run, you may not be rich, but you may be able to live comfortably

Typical of kids today, they want money for doing nothing

You’re out on a boat and see President Bush and A lawyer drowning … do you save the President, Lawyer, or continue to read your news paper?

My cousin just graduated from law school last June. Guess where he’s working at? Create & Barrel. Right now there’s no jobs for new lawyers with no experience.

This is a bit harsh, but he is just a kid. The perception of Clayton may be very different from reality.

My uncle was an attorney and very successful. He was a honorable man and well-respected and very well off.

A man wants to know what time it is, so he asks an engineer. The engineer tells him how to build a clock.

Next he asks an astronomer. The astronomer tells hims that time is relative to one’s position on the Earth as it revolves on its axis.

Finally he asks a lawyer. The lawyer puts his arm around the man’s shoulder and says “What time would you like it to be?”

Of course, anybody who thinks lawyers don’t serve any useful purpose better hope that the neighbor whose house their tree has just fallen onto feels the same way…

Adam@Home 1/22/10 Special Edition - The Tulsa Cut.

Panel 1: “Okay, I need to figure out how to get real rich.”

Panel 2: “But I don’t really want to work too hard.”

Panel 3: “Still, I don’t want to have an unjustly elevated opinion of myself.”

Panel 4: “So I’m going to focus on doing well in school; that’s been proven to give an effective edge in the competitive job market.”

Yeah, that’s much funnier.

fritzoid, I thought your version was funny :)

He didn’t say he wanted to be a crook?!
