Excerpts of a tell-tale conversation overheard in a court of justice in Malaysia after a judge described a lawyer as a “serpent in the lawn of justice”:

Lawyer A: No, Sir, it is not a snake in the grass, but a serpent in the lawn of justice itself.

Lawyer B: Are you very sure it is a serpent? And are you very sure that that serpent is in the lawn of, you say, justice? It may have been a serpent in the lawn but surely, not of justice, but of the law.

Lawyer A: What is the difference, anyway?

Lawyer B: One is a champion horse with four legs while the other is a donkey with three legs.

Lawyer A: Is that all –

Lawyer B: It is more complicated than that. You see, the champion horse is not of this world while the three-legged donkey is invisible.

Lawyer A: If that is so, how did you know about them?

Lawyer B: They exist in the minds of all lawyers who think.

Lawyer A: But lawyers don’t think, they just articulate –

Lawyer B: Some lawyers do, some and then some …

Lawyer A: And to think about it, my professors of law used to tell us that this is a simple world; only fools complicate it.

Lawyer B: But you just said that lawyers don’t think. Aren’t you contradicting yourself?

Lawyer A: Simple, really. I belong to the some and then some category … so I think and sometimes I even dream, especially during the day to avoid nightmares!

That last shot firmed a solid resolution in Lawyer B to henceforth avoid Lawyer A, since people who dream in the day can be dangerous creatures, more dangerous than a serpent in the Garden of Eden which was condemned to crawl till eternity.
