40 Lawyer Jokes. Punch Lines ONLY.
[2021 update] Jokes are a good way to help deal with stress, and the pandemic has certainly increased everyone’s stress. A lawyer mentioned a light-hearted comment that had been circulating around his firm last year regarding the changes to everyone’s work attire–basically, “It’s time to change from my work pajamas into my bedtime pajamas.” My wife and I were talking to a friend of ours, Manny Oliveira, a hilarious comedian, and he casually dropped into conversation a punch line we all knew.
