One thought ahead. Two sentences behind.

Jokes On Me – That’s Questionable

CROSSROADS

 

HANK:  Hey Hal, why is your chicken crossing the road?

HAL:  Looks like it’s trying to get to the other side.

HOW NOW

 

How many Mormon’s does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Did you say screw?

 

How many Amish does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Is that a trick question?

 

How many bulbs must a man replace before you can call him a handyman?

 

How many Teamsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Talk to their union rep.

 

How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Objection!

Overruled!

Your Honor, my profession is not on trial.

Your objection has been noted. Now please answer the question.

With all due respects, no questions on the bar exam were related to the mechanical sciences.

Whether the question is germane to your profession is not pertinent to the question at hand.

But the question has no bearing on this case.

I’m warning you counselor.

I mean no disrespect, your honor.  But to ask how many in my profession it takes to replace a light bulb is to ask how many Swiss watchmakers it takes to milk a Belgian cow.

The members of the jury will disregard the last statement.

May I approach the bench?

Will it be with a light bulb?

Pardon the pun, your honor, but this is not a question to be taken lightly.  Are we talking fluorescent, incandescent or halogen?  Is it a simple bulb above a bathroom mirror or is it a suspended linear luminaire in a factory warehouse?  Are the lawyers able to bill by the hour or by the bulb?  I would at the very least like to review Graham v Tesla before responding.

I see no reason why we cannot take an early lunch.  Court will adjourn until 2pm.  Counselor, I would like to see you in my chamber.  I’d like your opinion on how many in your profession would it take to deliver lunch to the jurors.
