CREDIT:
The lawyer joke was based on a similar one submitted to ScoutLife.org by Arnold C., Honolulu, Hawaii. More family-friendly jokes are posted on this site. https://jokes.scoutlife.org/jokes/long-jokes/ I've actually seen variations of this joke on other sites as well. You can change the lawyer's fee to whatever amount you wish and whichever currency you'd like.
