One Lawyer joke

Chicago sent its police chief, fire chief, and city attorney to a municipal
management conference in Indiana. While driving through a rural area, their car
broke down, and they sought assistance at a nearby farmhouse. The farmer told
them that the local garage was closed, and that they were welcome to spend the
night, but that he only had one spare bed. He told them that somebody could
sleep on his couch, but that one of them would have to spend the night in his
barn.

The police chief announced that he would volunteer to sleep in the
barn. A short time later there was a knock at the door. It was the police chief,
complaining that he could not sleep. There were pigs in the barn, and they
reminded him of insults that had been yelled at him, and he was too disturbed to
sleep.

The fire chief stated that he would trade with the police chief, and
went out to the barn. A short time later, again there was rapping at the door.
It was the fire chief, who complained that the cows in the barn reminded him of
Mrs. O'Leary's cow that started the great Chicago fire. He had tried to sleep,
but kept having nightmares where they were kicking over lanterns and setting the
barn ablaze.

The city attorney declared, "You two are such babies. I will go sleep in the
barn." Everything seemed fine, until a few minutes later, when another knock was
heard at the door. When the occupants answered the door, they found the very
indignant cows and pigs.
