The sign is not off the mark by much, which is why most people hate lawyers. Hence, the expression that something is funny only if there is some element of truth in it…
Learned one thing from dealing with lawyers and divorces: if you have any questions, pack them all into one phone call, because your lawyer will bill you for the hour whether it’s one minute or 60, and if you call back with another question, the billing starts all over. So, keep reading and re-reading this cartoon for another 59 minutes to get your money’s worth!
The devil visited a lawyer’s office and made him an offer. “I can arrange some things for you, ” the devil said. “I’ll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you’ll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife’s soul, your children’s souls, and their children’s souls rot in hell for eternity.”
The lawyer thought for a moment. “What’s the catch?” he asked.
Good grief! That man who holds the sign and needs the money to pay him for being a lawyer. He is just a panhandler! Beg for bloody money! Scats! Take a hike!
Q: If you are stranded on a desert island with Adolph Hitler, Atilla the Hun, and a lawyer, and you have a gun with only two bullets, what do you do?
A: Shoot the lawyer twice.
A barber gave a haircut to a priest one day. The priest tried to pay for the haircut, but the barber refused, saying, “you do God’s work.” The next morning the barber found a dozen Bibles at the door to his shop.
A policeman came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused payment, saying, “you protect the public.” The next morning the barber found a dozen doughnuts at the door to his shop.
A lawyer came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused payment, saying, “you serve the justice system.” The next morning the barber found a dozen lawyers waiting for a free haircut.
Then there was the lawyer who sued the devil in the State court for destroying his career and making his life a mess. The judge dismissed the case because the defendant wasn’t a resident of the State.
And everyone knows the devil resides in his office at the IRS. :-)

2) The lab assistants won’t become as attached to the Lawyers as they do the Rats,
3) There’s some things you can’t even get a Rat to do.

The devil somehow goes up to Heaven and trashes the place. God discovers the mess and yells: “I’m going to sue you for damages!”
“Oh, yeah?”, Satan retorts. “Where are you gonna find a lawyer up here?”

There was a joke once in the Harvard Business Review - a guy in an office answers the phone:
“No, I’m sorry, you have a wrong number. I am a lawyer. That’ll be $150.00.”
Says it all, really.
