Not exactly IP related, but I’m happy to see that at least some common sense still exists in this country. As you may have heard, a lawyer in Ney York got upset a while back when a couple of old-timers started telling lawyer jokes outside a Long Island courthouse. So upset he had the pair ARRESTED! Fortunately, the grand jury refused to indict. (Should have put McCoy on the case.) Lawyer jokes have never bothered me. In fact, I take a kind of perverse pride in the fact that people spend time and energy making them up. And of course, what makes the jokes funny is that they contain an element of truth. Without a sense of humor, law is a far too grim way to make a living. It’s good to remember that from time to time and not take any of this stuff too seriously.
