                                     at the  pearly gates together.  St. Peter greets them at the pearly gates

                                     and takes  them to the homes where they will spend all of eternity. 

                                    They get into  St. Peters holy vehicle and head on down a golden road

                                    which leads to a  huge mansion. 
                       
                                    He says to the lawyer, "Here is your home and if there is anything you

                                   need,   just let me know." 
              
                                   Then St. Peter takes the forester to his home down a gravel road

                                   to a shack.  St. Peter says "Here you go"  and goes to leave.

                                   "Wait a minute! How come the lawyer gets the mansion and I get the

                                    shack?" 

                                   St. Peter says, "Well, foresters are a dime a dozen here, we have never

                                   had a  lawyer here before."

JOKE OF THE DAY:    A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense.
    "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles.  His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb."
    "Well put," the judge replied.  "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment.  He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."
    The defendant smiled
    With his lawyers assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out.

                                                                                                HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Two guys were riding in a car, arguing about how to say the name of the city that they were in.  One said "Louisville" and the other said "Louiseville."  They went on arguing and arguing until they came upon a fast-food restaurant.  The one guy goes inside and says to the waitress, "Tell me the name of the place where I am right now really, really, really slowly."
