Ah, yes, reminds me of a couple of goodies too good for net.jokes. For
your personal pleasure, not retransmission until the Qubix net.embargo
is lifted. (and maybe not then :-)

[Disclaimer: I heard this firsthand from a Southern Baptist deacon who
had just received his J.D. and passed the bar]

One day in heaven, a key utility went on the blink. Since all those
qualified to fix it were at the other place, Peter called Satan to send
a fix-it soul. The devil laughed at him and said, "Make me send you
one." Peter retorted, "I'll sue - and I know the judge!" But his
adversary calmly replied, "Where are you gonna get a lawyer?"

:-) :-) :-) :-)

Then there was the guy who wanted to prove he could take it with him. At
his deathbed, he called for his doctor, his minister, and his lawyer. He
told them, "Here are three envelopes, each with $30,000 cash. I want
each of you to take one, and when they put the casket in the ground,
throw the envelopes on top of it."

The men did as they were told, and at graveside, three envelopes found
their way into the pit. At that point the minister said, "I must
confess, one of our charities desperately needed $10,000, so I have only
given $20,000." The doctor then remarked, "I too confess, we needed
$20,000 for some new hospital equipment. I have given but $10,000." The
lawyer looked at them askance and replied, "Gentlemen, I'm so ashamed of
both of you. Why, I put my personal check for the full amount!"
