Tell a lawyer joke, go to jail?
Pair arrested outside Long Island courthouseThe Associated Press
Updated: 3:03 p.m. ET Jan. 12, 2005MEPSTEAD, N.Y. - Did you hear the one about the two guys arrested for telling lawyer jokes?

It happened this week to the founders of a group called Americans for Legal Reform, who were waiting in line to get into a Long Island courthouse.

“How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?” Harvey Kash reportedly asked Carl Lanzisera.

“His lips are moving,” they said in unison.

While some waiting to get into the courthouse giggled, a lawyer farther up the line Monday was not laughing.

He told them to pipe down, and when they did not, the lawyer reported the pair to court personnel, who charged them with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

“They just can’t take it,” Kash said of lawyers in general. “This violates our First Amendment rights.”

Dan Bagnuola, a spokesman for the Nassau County courts, said the men were “being abusive and they were causing a disturbance.” He said he did not have the name of the lawyer who complained.

Pssst, Nigal, don't tell Stove Stomper, because it probably violates one or another of the Stove Stomper Rules and Regulations for Life, Living, and Trail Talk, but the window ain't high enough.

Even worst...it could be a basement window.

Geez, I didn't know lawyers had such thin skin.

What's the difference between a scum sucking bottom feeder and a lawyer? Nothing.

not sure if this has been talked about.
I am not sure how I feel about this,
I think today is the start of 9 11 trials.
so far all I have heard is that this should have been tried in a goverment trail instead of New York.

I have to agree

I feel that to have them in NY is like pouring salt in an open wound.

it was an attack on the USA not just New York


this will put a strain on our local police.

just my thoughts.

1) It will be a government trial - its the Federal Court in Manhattan.

2) The 6th amendment to the Constitution specifies that a trial will be in the State and District where the crime was committed.

3) The NYPD is up to the task.


What better place to have justice served? These guys will get the death penalty.

I think you mean that it wont be a military trial.
All trials are "government" trials.

i do not support the death penalty under any circumstance.

Stove would make a great judge if he could put cartoons on a big screen behind him. He would also address counsel as silly. Probably would let the terrorists go and give President Obama a life sentence for starting the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
