You could then follow with a question. "What's 1000 attorneys chained together on the bottom of the ocean?" Hopefully they will know the answer, I am sure you know it, right? This will make them forget to ask what your specialty is, they will never need your services anyway. If you keep on telling lawyer jokes they will always remember the lawyer, you know the one, he told us all those lawyer jokes, a great guy...umm umm m, damn what WAS his name?</P> <P> </P> <P>answer: A good start!</P>
