There are so many attorney jokes one can use ("Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? A: His lips are moving." or "Q: How do you get a group of lawyers to smile for a picture? A: Just say Fees!" or "Q: Why won't sharks attack lawyers? A: Professional courtesy.") But far be it from me to stoop so low on a day when our favorite member of the bar is celebrating his birthday. Z-73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Guys, I want to thank you for the kind birthday wishes. It has been an interesting last year for me. In March a very long term relationship ended and I moved back to Northern Virginia.
My brother, Christopher, shares a birthday with me. He was born on my 13th birthday and turned 47 yesterday– so you math guys can figure out how old I am. Chris invited me to come up to his home outside of Hershey, Pa. for golf with him and his son. I went up on Friday. His course ended up underwater, but he made arrangements with another club.
Friday night my brother, John, and his wife showed up from Richmond. He said he wanted to join us for golf. When we got back to Chris’ house after golf my son was there as were my sisters, Deborah, from NJ and Susan, from Atlanta. I was pretty much surprised. I was quite touched by the fact that they all traveled to come see me (and Chris).
As for lawyer jokes, here is my favorite:
A woman calls the law firm of Smith and Jones on Monday morning, the receptionist answers, “Law Offices of Smith and Jones, how may I assist you?” The woman says, “I’d like to speak with Mr. Jones please.”
The receptionist says, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones was involved in a very serious automobile accident over the week-end. He was killed. May I have another attorney assist you?” The woman says, “No thank you” and hangs up.
On Tuesday morning the phone rings and the receptionist answers, “Law Offices of Smith and Jones, how may I assist you?” The woman says, “I’d like to speak with Mr. Jones please.” The receptionist says, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones was involved in a very serious automobile accident over the week-end. He was killed. May I have another attorney assist you?” The woman says, “No thank you” and hangs up.
Wednesday the same thing happens.
Thursday the same thing happens.
Friday the same thing happens. This time the receptionist knows that it is the same woman who called each day of the week. The receptionist says, “Ma’am, you have called everyday this week and asked for Mr. Jones. On each occasion I told you that Mr. Jones had been involved in a very serious automobile accident and was killed. What is it about Mr. Jones being dead do you not understand?”
The woman replied, “Oh, I understand perfectly –
it’s just that I like the way it sounds.”
Go Gaels!!!
