You are a bit mixed up there boy. Where did you came up with this lame brained idea?

But...if you insist this is the only attorney joke I know:

There were three people in a room, a lawyer, an engineer and a mathmetician. When asked how many windows in the room, the mathmetician replied, "Exactly three."

The engineer replied, "Approximately three."

And the attorney when asked, went around, pulled all the shades down over the windows and then asked in a hushed tone, "How many do you want there to be?"
