As a lawyer, I guess I ve heard a million lawyer jokes.
People despise lawyers.
But in spite of the jokes, many lawyers are good people. Maybe because lawyers have the power to discover and proclaim the truth, yet lawyers often abuse that power, and use it to hide the truth. Lawyers sometimes work real hard to get people to believe stuff that we ourselves don t even believe. They depict Pharisees in the worst sort of light. But the Pharisees were good people.
