What's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road, and a dead skunk in the road? There are skid marks in front of the skunk. What do you call a BMW full of lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start. A tour boat went to sea one day for a three hour cruise, filled to capacity with vacationing tourists. Unfortunately, it hit a reef and began to sink, within sight of a populated island, but in a region filled with man-eating sharks. The passengers were in a panic, since there was only one small lifeboat and upon inspection, it turned out to have no oars or radio. One passenger volunteered to attempt a swim to shore to find assistance, and promptly jumped overboard. He swam leisurely to shore, and a few hours later a tow boat appeared on the scene to haul the stranded passengers to safety. When the group was safely ashore, one of them found the hero who swam to land to alert the rescue officials and save them all. He asked, "How did you manage to get to shore safely, with all those hungry sharks in the water, without being eaten alive?" The man answered, "Simple; I'm a lawyer." The newly rescued gent was clearly confused by this answer, so the hero clarified his answer by saying, "Professional courtesy."
