Lawyers and Ambulances

Now while Wes and I are focused on talking to people about alternative energy, it seems the press (hence, we) can’t ignore the amusing irony of an attorney owning an ambulance. Yeah, no doubt about it, the day I first realized that everything I wanted in my experimental veggie mobile was right there in an ambulance I cringed at the sure knowledge that I’d have to put up with a lot of ambulance chasing lawyer jokes. But there was no way around it, I wasn’t gonna let a little teasing stop me from buying the perfect vehicle for this grand experiment.

 

So rather than trying to avoid the jokes, we choose to embrace them! If we can get the Great Green Ambulance’s license plate changed, we want it to say loud and clear: CAWT 1 (That’s Caught One for folks needing translating from a Boston Dialect to American English) I’ve also decided to list every single ambulance chasing lawyer joke I can find. If you have others you think I should know about, email them to me at: jokes@GreatGreenAmbulance.com I’m learning to love them so keep ‘em coming!

 

Two personal injury lawyers met at a cocktail party.
“How’s business?” asked the first. “Rotten,” replied the other. “Yesterday, I chased an ambulance for twenty miles. When I finally caught up to it, there was already another lawyer hanging on to the bumper.”

Q. What is the difference between a lawyer and a Dalmatian?
A Dalmatian knows when to stop chasing the ambulance.

 

Three paramedics were boasting about improvements in their respective ambulance team’s response times.

“Since we installed our new satellite navigation system,” bragged the first one, “we cut our emergency response time by ten percent.”

The other paramedics nodded in approval. “Not bad,” the second paramedic commented. “But by using a computer model of traffic patterns, we’ve cut our average ERT by 20 percent.”

 

Again, the other team members gave their congratulations, until the third paramedic said, “That’s nothing! Since our ambulance driver passed the bar exam, we’ve cut our emergency response time in half!”

 

 

“Every political journalist is picking John Edwards as the number one pick to be John Kerry’s vice president. Can you imagine the debate between Dick Cheney and a trial lawyer like Edwards? One guy has spent his career in an ambulance, the other guys has spend his career chasing it.” —Jay Leno

 

“John Edwards earned a fortune from medical malpractice. So he and Dick Cheney have something in common. They both know what it’s like to chase an ambulance.” —Jay Leno

 

“Some polls show John Edwards with higher approval than Dick Cheney. That’s pretty amazing, isn’t it? For the first time ever, the lawyer is ahead of the guy in the ambulance!” —Jay Leno

 

“It was so hot today that I saw a lawyer walk after an ambulance.”

 

Question: What do you call a lawyer who doesn’t chase ambulances?
Answer: Retired.
