You ever think about how much lawyers are hurting the environment?
I’m just thinking about all the printed legalese out there. Like you buy any electronic device, there is always a ton of legalese that no one ever reads. It may be a booklet explaining the warranty or overly detailed safety warnings or just basic CYA about it’s operation — just nonsense that doesn’t actually have to do with using the device and no one actually ever bothers to read it. And have you ever bought a house or got a loan? There’s just tons of papers to sign. Legalese is just everywhere that’s it’s almost invisible to us (partly because we’ve gotten used to ignoring it), but think of how many countless forests it took to actually print up all that verbiage that pretty much no one ever cares to read? Though printed out like it’s of interest to all, the only people who might actually ever read it are other lawyers trying to sure a company or what not. It’s almost like all this legalese is a scam to both 1) Keep lawyers employed 2) Kill trees.
Anyway, I don’t want to get all environmental, but environmentalists often use lawyers to bully people, but it would be hard to find anyone more callous about the environment than lawyers and their wasteful, printed out legalese.
Not to mention all of the oxygen they callously waste. Excuse me, I have to take a phone call.
That was a lawyer on the phone. He said he and his client are suing me for injuring a blue jay with my window.
Perhaps true. Lawyers consume paper and emit CO2. CO2 is a pollutant. Ergo, lawyers are a threat to the environment.
Many moons ago, I filled out a job app for a fairly decent sized company and as always, read the fine print. There was a stipulation in it to which a reasonable person would not normally agree. I asked the manager. He looked at it and pretty much agreed. He said no one had ever asked about it before. I’ve seen the same when completing an employment agreement that covered intellectual property to the effect that your employer will have rights to any intellectual property you develop during your term, whether it is in any way related to your work or not.
Short story long, the etymology of the word “lawyer” traces back to an ancient High German word for “liar.”
Remember the good ol’ days, when being “negligent” actually meant knowing that there was a problem, that something was unsafe and could hurt people yet doing nothing about it and willingly allowing it to happen? Thanks for screwing all that up lawyers.
Does anyone else find it sad that in all of those school shootings, none of them happened at a law school? (I’ll probably get sued for mentioning that)
Know why a shark won’t bite a lawyer? Professional courtesy…
Know why lawyers wear neck ties? Keeps the foreskin from sliding back up…
Know what happens when you give a lawyer Viagra? He get’s taller…
USSJC: score!

And I though it was a progression from the bards. you know the little fairly like dudes that annoy everyone by singing. Lore lorer lawyer.
Lawyer: An annoying cancer like growth attached to the parasitic slime created by democrats to suck wealth out of an economy.
What do you have when there are 10,000 lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?
A tragic shortage of sand.
What is the difference between a dead lawyer and a dead skunk in the middle of the road?
Skid marks leading up to the skunk.
Plus, when you burn them, they give off an awful stench. That can’t be good for the environment.
Clinton and Obama are lawyers. ’nuff said,

If only I could convince the 10:10 psychos that lawyers cause global warming.
I think the biggest threat to our environment is too many climate “scientists” in need of grant money.
They make up new studies that point to new issues, so that new, short-sighted, measures can be taken to stem the tide of the Earth doing what it has for Billions of years. And that is Changing regularly.
Seriously… if the climate is supposed to be static, rather than Dynamic, then how the HELL did we go from the Permian Era to the Present? We should still be sucking back an atmosphere we’d never survive, let alone THRIVE, in.
