An Unlikely Hero (Offensive to Lawyers)
A cruise ship was wrecked in a storm, and the handful of survivors were
washed up on a desert island without food or water. When dawn came,
they saw that the ship was washed up on a sandbar just a few hundred
feet away.
However, the inlet was crawling with hungry sharks. The strongest young
man volunteered to bring back the food. "I'm strong and I'm a good
swimmer. I think I can make it."
He dove in and give it his best shot, but the sharks devoured him before
he had a chance to get close to the ship.
"I'm a clergyman," another man volunteered. "The Lord will protect His
servant." But he too became shark chow.
Finally, a lawyer stepped forward. "I think I can get to the ship," he
said.
Sure enough, as soon as he got into the water, a dozen sharks lined up
and escorted his to and from the ship. He made the round trip unharmed
and brought everyone some food.
"It's a miracle!" several of the passengers shouted.
"Nah, it's no miracle," the lawyer replied. "It's just professional
courtesy."
