LAW SUITS

How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb? Seven, one to stick his finger in the socket and the other six to sue the electric company.

After two months in my wheelchair, I was called by my insurance company's law office. They wanted to know if there was something defective about the ladder I had been using or if there were anyone else they might sue to recover my medical costs. I replied that the ladder company had been too good in its warnings and safety instructions...only a fool could fall from such a ladder. I then pointedly asked if I could sue the ladder company for making me look like an idiot.

The lawyer told me that I could not sue a company for some-thing I did to myself every day.

He hung up before I could tell him one of my lawyer jokes.
