Week 10 EOC: Lawyer Jokes

A man and a woman were conversing at a party. The woman said: "Lawyers are jerks." The man responded: "I take offense to that remark." "Why," said the woman. "Are you a lawyer?" "No," he responded: "I'm a jerk."

Where does a vampire learn how to suck blood? During his first year of Law School.

It was so cold last winter that I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.

Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp. The small one turns to the big one and says, "I don't understand how you can be so much bigger than I am. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids... I just don't get it. 

"Well," says the big alligator, "what have you been eating?" 
Alligator "Lawyers, same as you," replies the small alligator. 

"Hmm. Well, where do you catch 'em?" 

"Down at that law firm on the edge of the swamp." 

"Same here. Hmm. How do you catch 'em?" 
"Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door. Then I jump out, bite 'em, shake the crap out of 'em, and eat 'em!" 

"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin' the crap out of a lawyer, there's nothing left but lips and a briefcase..."

Week 9 EOC: Wall Street Journal Opinion

The argument will always lead to one big factor when dealing with the somewhat legalization of marijuana. Under the constitution congress can’t pass laws that apply in some states and not others. So at this point it seems like if you were to get caught with a bag of weed you would notice the same process as you normally would. Only to find out when you show up for court the judge will just dismiss your case or at least treat it in a much easier manner. The reason it has taken so long for Obama to come through with this type of decision is because of the politics it deals with. No senator or just about anyone for that matter wants to bring up marijuana legalization. There are a lot of people out there that look down upon people that use any sort of drug, marijuana is one of them definitely. “Not since Nixon have we seen a Presidency so disdainful of the law” (Source) . Pretty soon our fellow Americans are going to treat any law they don’t like something they shouldn’t have to follow, and blame Obama for their actions. “Anyone waiting to legally buy recreational marijuana in Washington will have to wait about nine months longer” (Source). This goes to show just how much time they are investigating on how much they should tax for marijuana use. “ In the end, state laws legalizing marijuana could topple a huge federal beast the war on drugs- while the gun nullification bills are show but impotent”. This is one of the reasons why I don’t think it was passed in many other states. If it were to happen that way, it actually would be a huge disaster in my opinion.(Source)
