Over at John Flood's RATs blog site -- he is a British law-and-society prof who occasionally does stateside duty teaching legal ethics in U.S. law schools -- John posts the wonderful cartoon below, debates a commenter over whether the joke in it is utopic or dystopic, and reminds readers of an oldie but goodie lawyer joke, the one about

the partner, associate and paralegal walking along when they find a lamp and rub it. The genie pops out and offers each a wish. The paralegal wants a million pounds to spend on clothes; the associate wants to be on a far away beach with his harem; and the partner says, "I want them back by lunchtime!"

A classic.  Previously, I offered four bad lightbulb-replacement jokes for law professors.
