Why many jokes lawyers? Cracking the case

This post is one part of the chain.

I can’t be the only person who noticed that some of the professions have become targets for a non -proportional number of jokes. Certainly, all professions cultivate their own strains banterBut certain Professional life The tracks seem to have been born more than average. Ask someone walking on the street if they have heard a good joke about warehouse workers, and you will most likely get an empty staring. Ask the same individual if he knows any lawyer jokes, and you may hear at least one, if not several. But why should this be?

Giving the topic some thinking, you have reached six reasons that may explain such a phenomenon. This includes the profession of law affinityand necessityand impactand Infection natureand Moral complexityAnd A relatively high condition.

affinity

Lawyers do not work exactly in mystery. The profession is almost familiar to everyone, and many of us have at least one within our extended family or the circle of friends. Most of them announce their services, and tried to stand out during communication in various social gatherings, and they have many interesting stories that they can recount, albeit with some restrictions that the dictates of confidentiality require. This secrecy, fortunately, do not prevent our knowledge of other means. For various reasons (many of them are related to our current topic), lawyers have long been leading personalities in literature, in theater, and recently on television and cinema.

The development of mutual weakness (Simon and Donan, 2025) is the idea that humor is a way to seek feelings of entertainment on intentionally, and the microscopy is an order Passion The most expressive by He laughedLaughter is a very, non -verbal, non -verbal way to express a feeling of mutual weakness. It is a reminder that we share many shortcomings and restrictions, which eventually helps to strengthen it cooperation.

What the theory also proposes is to appreciate humor, we must be aware of how to identify some features and behaviors as weaknesses; This means, as things change the relationship of the situation with others, because the situation is a measure of weakness ( less Exposed, higher We put, vice versa).

When it comes to lawyers, most everyone is at least familiar with the positive aspects of the profession, as well as negative aspects. Step (negative generally) develops and spreads throughout the public. This means that when the story of the spirit of humor or intelligence attributes certain characteristics of lawyers or their methods, most people will understand the reference. In other words, they can “get” the joke – they will see how it reduces the lawyer’s position.

necessity

In most of the developed world, lawyers are the first defense line when rights, freedom and justice are at stake. This makes them necessary. For most of us look from the outside, the legal system is often transparent, mysterious and complex. It has the effectiveness of its own language. The laws that it sometimes imposes in general are excessively and at other times incredibly defined. All this combines making the lawyers indispensable, and putting their customers in a very weak position. For compensation, the public is rushing to indicate any deficiencies of (as a group) who have to help equal the dynamics of power.

impact

Lawyers are not simply necessary. Their actions are often very dependency. They deal with issues that involve large amounts of money and expensive property property. Families can be greatly affected – for example, through Divorce Or one member being sent to prison. People depend on them to deal with issues such as migration, employment, housing, injury and other things that affect the lives of their customers in unusual ways.

The great lawyer can be a blessing, especially lawyers who argue on behalf of one in the settings of the courtroom. However, the defender, even one of them is good, which (for any reason) cannot result in the result that their customers hope for it. This, again, stimulates negative feelings, and often, the humor.

Some of the negative comments on Top Tens, which reports the results of wiping over the most hated professions, give us an indication of enmity lawyers (who are No. 2 in that list) sometimes. These are just a few examples:

“The weapon of the judicial system, hypocrisy, not worthy of confidence, arrogant.”

“They made an offer in the courtroom, but they are likely to be friends with each other, laughing at their customers while playing golf or lunch, or boasting about the amount of money they earned. Think about it – what is the judge? A former lawyer.

“It takes a low -safety and moral personality to become a lawyer. By them, the killers, the rapists, those who know children, and drivers are drunk in the streets harm people committed to the law.”

“99 % of them give the rest a bad name.”

The effects of the estuary

I will expand the remaining factors, Hostile natureand Moral complexityAnd A relatively high condition In my future post. Currently, let me leave you by taking a sample of jokes that show this type. This is from Filevine.

One of the lawyers was sitting in his office late in one night, when Satan appeared in front of him.

Tell the Devil the lawyer, “I have a suggestion for you. You can win every case you are trying, for the rest of your life. Dread From you, you will make embarrassing amounts of money. All I want in contrast is your soul, your wife’s soul, the souls of your children, the souls of your parents, your grandparents and parents, and the lives of all your friends and law partners. “

The lawyer thought about this for a moment and then asked, “So, what is hunting?”
