This was sent to me by my college roommate, WHO IS A LAWYER! WASHINGTON, D.C. - A White House source stated that Congress is considering awarding Vice-President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom, the national highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in shooting an attorney. The source was quoted to say " All Americans have wanted to shoot a lawyer at one time or another and Cheney actually had the cojones to do it". In a related story, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which issues hunting licenses, said that it will start requiring hunters, wishing to bag a lawyer, to have the new "lawyer's stamp" on their hunting license. Currently Texas hunters are required to carry stamps for hunting birds, deer, and bear, at a cost of $7 annually. The new "lawyers stamp" will cost $100, but open season will be all year long. The Department further stated that although the "lawyers stamp" comes at hefty price, sales have been brisk and it is believed it will generate annual revenues in excess of $3 million dollars the first year. Other states are considering similar hunting license stamps.
I did read where Law School applications are down across the country, I wonder what that is all about?
My guess is that spending 3 years of your life studying, spending considerable sums of money, and 6 months of torture to pass a bar exam, isn't worth finding out that there are no jobs for you when you're done.
