Sorry Richard G and any other Attorneys. Actually, when I was in law enforcement a judge told me these. He had a book of them.

How can you tell if a lawyer is lying?
His lips are moving.
What does it mean if you come upon an attorney in a hole and he's buried up to his neck in cement?
It means someone ran out of cement.........
I really like lawyer bashing. I could spend the whole day bashing lawyers. Seriously I'd like to bash some lawyers. Then run over them.
It was at least 30 years ago I saw this in a letter to the LA Times:
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had 80% of the world's engineers, instead of 80% of the world's lawyers?"
Just like everything else, lawyers do provide some good. You can walk on a dark sidewalk in Mexico City and fall into a deep unmarked hole.
TS, buddy. If it weren't for product liability lawyers, we'd be poisoned and injured far more often, due to crass negligence and lack of forethought.
See the cable across the driveway? I knew of a young guy fresh back from Vietnam who rode his motorcycle onto the parking lot at Mesa College in San Diego. It was dusk like above, and he didn't see the cable across the road, and died.

Mike, I heard it was so cold in Minnesota last winter that the attorneys around the court house had to keep their hands in their own pockets to stay warm....
Sure, we could make everyone wear rubber suits with proximity sensors to make sure we don't bump into something on someone else's property.
I think it's coming to that.
I have less use for lawyers than I do our local sheriffs' deputies.
Danial, lawyers may be keeping your deputies in line. I talked to a Fullerton policeman yesterday whose life has been badly affected by the rogue actions of six of his fellow officers last year.
How much would it take to put flags on cables like the above? Some do it; others don't, no doubt just lack of foresight. That's when laws are made or lawyers force forethought. Sure, it often goes overboard.
Look at the cost/benefit ratio of simple things like flags on cables or chains across roadways or pathways.

How much would it have taken for the driver to accept responsibility for the fact that he left the road and drove on private property?
That appears to be a bank drive-up window in the pic. Why do you need to be there after hours? And why should the bank be held liable for trespassers after business hours?
Sorry, no soap.
Anyone who drives too fast for their vision or the headlights in unfamiliar territory should most certainly accept responsibility for their actions.
