Excerpt from Legal Laughs: A Joke for Every JuryNo originality is claimed for this production aside from the idea. Never before has there been a book of this kind gotten out expressly for the lawyers.Since my boyhood it has been my ambition to be come a member of the profession which my honored father has loved with so many years of hard work, consistent study and application of the fine principles which I know him to hold and exercise in his practice of the legal profession.A few years ago, while in college, I began to clip out and save anecdotes relating in any wise to lawyers, courts and laws, with the idea of filing them away in such a manner as to be of use to me, when admitted to the bar, in presenting argument to juries. Knowing the value of the apt illustration, and especially of the humorous kind, in court practice, it has occurred to me that other lawyers might desire a codified collection of jokes, and thus the present volume.In compiling this book, I have used every endeavor to keep out of its pages what is commonly called the dirty joke. The profane or vulgar joke has no place in this book, and in my mind, no place in the court - house, or anywhere else for that matter.Also, in selecting these jokes, it has been my desire to eliminate the stale and futile anecdotes and to put in only those which possess laugh-producing qualities sufficient for the purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
