A mobster was on trial, facing a possible life sentence,
but his lawyer bribed a juror to hold out for a lesser charge.
After hours of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict carrying a
maximum of ten years in prison.
Afterward, the lawyer approached the juror. "You had me so worried! When the jury was out so long, I was afraid you couldn't pull it off." "I was worried too!" answered the juror. "The others all wanted to acquit him!" Al was finding it difficult to sleep at night. He begged the doctor to give him a strong sedative. The doctor obliged, but told him to take only half of the prescribed pill. To make sure he slept, Al took a whole pill and went to sleep. As dawn came up, Al awoke. He felt refreshed. Cheerful, he went to work. As he walked into the office, he saw the boss and said, "I'm ready. I slept like a log. I jumped out of bed like a kid this morning." The boss said, "Nice. But where were you yesterday?" An operator on a "help desk" received a phone call from a lady who asked: "Will I be able to send emails and surf the Internet if I plug my laptop into the cigarette lighter in my car?" "No, Mam. You need to connect to a cable modem or a phone wire" was the reply. "Well, how come I can use my cell phone to talk to someone when it is hooked to the cigarette lighter?" Classic Bill Gates Quote! "There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft." My grandfather's a little forgetful, but he likes to give me advice. One day, he took me aside and left me there." - Ron Richards I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else. - Lily Tomlin "Some women hold up dresses that are so ugly and they always say the same thing: "This looks much better on." - ...On what? ... On fire?" - Rita Rudner "The ad in the paper said 'Big Sale. Last Week.' Why advertise? I already missed it. They're just rubbing it in." - Yakov Smirnoff "Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash." - Jerry Seinfeld 'USA Today' has come out with a new survey: Apparently three out of four people make up 75 percent of the population. - David Letterman If God doesn't destroy Hollywood Boulevard, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. - Jay Leno I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was, "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, 'I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you? - Larry Miller Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it's their fault; If he/she betrays you twice, it's your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. The tongue weighs practically nothing. But so few people can hold it. A lawyer successfully defended a client in a scandalous and highly publicized trial. At a party after the trial ended, he was cornered by an indignant woman. "Is there no client so low, so despicable, so outrageous, that you wouldn't take the case?" she demanded. "It all depends," said the lawyer equably. "What did you do?" Two law partners were having lunch one day, when one of them suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "Oh, no! I've got to get back to the office! I left the safe unlocked!" The other lawyer looked at his partner calmly and replied, "What are you worried about? We're both here." |
