Absolutely! I've been telling them since she was in law school and I questioned the logic of an ethics class. She didn't think it was funny. :shiner:

That is awesome Judy. From what I hear, that is no easy accomplishment. This truly is reason to celebrate.....and maybe tell a joke or two.:)

After a shipwreck, three guys were stuck on a life raft and they watched as the only other life raft started drifting away from them. Since they could see there was food strapped down on the raft they wanted to get it. The first guy swam over to the raft, but was attacked an eaten by voracious sharks. The second guy started to swim, but the sharks started zeroing in on him and he scrambled back on the raft with the other guy.
They discussed their dilemma for a minute, then the last guy stated that he would try. So he jumps into the water, swims over to the raft, grabs the food and water and swims back unbitten. The other guy exclaims, "How in the world did you manage that? The sharks didn't pay any attention to you at all!"

"It's simple - I'm a lawyer and they gave me professional courtesy."

The National Institute of Health (NIH) announced last week that they were going to start using lawyers instead of rats in their experiments. Naturally, the American Bar Association was outraged and filed suit. Yet, the NIH presented some very good reasons for the switch.

1. The lab assistants were becoming very attached to their little rats. This emotional involvement was interfering with the research being conducted. No such attachment could form for a lawyer.

2. Lawyers breed faster and are in much greater supply.

3. Lawyers are much cheaper to care for and the humanitarians won't jump all over you no matter what you're studying.

4. There are some things even a rat won't do.

:cheers: I wish your daughter all the luck! :cheers:
