Lawyer Jokes Land Pair in Jail

 

Harvey Kash and Carl Lanzisera, founders of the group called Americans for Legal Reform, were standing in line outside a Long Island NY courthouse waiting to get in when Harvey tells Carl a lawyer joke that brought giggles to the people waiting.

"How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?" Harvey asked Carl, with both replying in unison, "his lips are moving". However, a lawyer farther up the line was not amused by the joke and told the pair to quieten down.

When they refused, the lawyer reported them to court personnel, who in turn charged them with disorderly conduct. Dan Bagnuola, spokesman for the Nassau County courts said the men were "being abusive and they were causing a disturbance."

  Lawyer motto  
 

"Pay me now, or pay me later because I am not amused."

Shakespeare said it best: "First we kill all the lawyers."

  Say Goodbye!  
 
Say goodbye to free speech, guys. Thanks to the liberals, basically anything, even a joke, can be labeled as "hate speech" and the one offended can take you to court. I haven't seen any news about the "Philadelphia 4" locked up for exercising their right to free speech, but I guess that's because they rallied against a homosexual "outfest," and since they aren't liberal, their rights don't matter, or even exist. What this lawyer did is just one example of what will happen now. Let a black or a Jew hear an off-color joke, and the person telling it could wind up in prison. Our right to free speech is disappearing in favor of everyone's (unless you're white, Christian, or conservative, of course) "right" not to be offended.

Thanks, Libbies. You're scum, and you don't know it. That's the saddest part of all.

  it's not liberals at fault...  
 
... it's people with sticks shoved so far upp their butts that their senses of humor have been punctured. you can find those on both ends of the spectrum.

my mother is a liberal, AND a lawyer, AND she collects lawyer jokes. used to tell them at the dinner table. frankly i've met far more liberals who are able to laugh at themselves than conservatives.
