It’s a Lawyer Joke
There was once a truck driver who would amuse himself by running over lawyers as they walked down the side of the road. Every time he saw a lawyer, he would swerve to hit him, there would be a loud “THUD”, and then he’d swerve back onto the road.
One day, as the truck driver was driving along he saw a priest hitchhiking. The driver thought he would do a good deed and pulled the truck over.
“Where are you going, Father?” he asked.
“I’m going to a church 5 miles down the road,” the priest replied.
“No problem! I’ll take you there. Get in.” The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road.
All of a sudden, the driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively swerved to hit him, but then he remembered the priest was also in the truck, so he swerved back away, barely missing the lawyer.
However, even though he was sure he had missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud “THUMP”. He looked in his mirrors and when he didn’t see anything, he turned to the priest and said, “I’m sorry, Father. I almost hit that lawyer.”
“That’s okay,” said the priest. “I got him with the door!”
