The Top 9 Ways Lawyers
are Better than Scientists
are Better than Scientists
9> “Immutable laws? What immutable laws? There are *always* ways around laws.”
8> 99% of the time, lawyers smell better!
7> The letters in “lawyer” jumble to spell, “Aw, rely!” “Scientist” jumbles to “It’s incest!”
6> “Ally McBiology,” “LA Chemist,” and “Science & Order” just don’t have the same ring to them.
5> How many times do you hear about clients sleeping with their scientists?
4> “Infallible DNA evidence… yeah, sure.”
3> Hey, Jackson Browne didn’t sing about scientists in love, did he?
2> Lawyer: drives a BMW, works in a secure, air-conditioned office, goes home to a trophy wife. Scientist: drives whatever bike is left in the lab rack, works in a biohazard area, goes home when he can remember where it is, sleeps next to a retired experimental rodent.
and the Number 1 Way Lawyers are Better than Scientists…
1> When a lawyer slips up, an innocent man hangs, or maybe one little homicidal maniac is set free. But when a scientist slips up — Chernobyl! Thalidomide! Mothra! Skynet!
