Shoot, I was thinking of Henry VI and a certain lawyer quote.

Years back there were text documents of lawyer jokes circulating on the then new world wide web. Something like 101 jokes.

I can assure you with great certainty that there are much more than a mere 101 jokes about lawyers...

"...First let's kill all the lawyers..."
 
Isn't that a misquote of some lines in Shakepear where the discussion Involves the way to control a population of people? I thought the actual quote was something along the lines of if you want to take over a country you first kill the lawyers because they would prevent you from obtaining power by legal means.
 
Thus the quote used to bash lawyers was actually in praise of them.
 
Am I wrong? Maybe some of you folks with more "book learnin" than me can answer that.

No, I think that is a myth fabricated by lawyers.
 
Here's some interesting analysis: The Ethical Spectacle.

Having studied the law himself, it probably helped with his lawyer jokes. Shakespeare's Knowledge of Law. Apparently he also apprenticed for a law firm in London (as did Dickens). They both got smart and became John Grishams of their day.
 
I don't see anything about the Bard and insurance.

""Insurance. An ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table." - Ambrose Bierce

so, who is the uninformed "Ambrose Bierce"?
 
Did he get his Liability coverage canceled on his horse drawn buckboard?

how ANYONE could mention "auto insurance" and not, in the same breath, utter the word "lawyer"...it's like macaroni and cheese, Lewis & Clark, Cain & Abel, Abercrombie & Fitch, Batman & Robin, you get the idea...
 
So, any mention of lawyer is ALWAYS on topic in the Auto Insurance topic...
