PLUMBERS AND LAWYERS
Posted by: root <root@...>
After finding a leak in the bathroom, the lawyer's secretary called the
plumber, who fixed it in a matter of minutes.
The bill, however, was substantial. So substantial that the lawyer called to
complain. "You weren't here for more than ten minutes," he said, "and I
don't charge that much for an hour."
"I know," retorted the plumber sympathetically, "and I didn't either, when I
was a lawyer."

During taxi, the crew of a US AIR departure flight to Ft.
Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a
United 727. The irate ground controller (a female) screamed,
"US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right
on "Charlie" taxiway; you turned right on "Delta. Stop right
there! I know it's difficult to tell the difference between
C's & D's, but get it right!"
Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now
shouting hysterically, "You've screwed everything up;
it'll take forever to sort this out. You stay right there
and don't move until I tell you to! Then, I want you to go
exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell
you. You got that, US Air 2771?"
The humbled crew responded, "Yes, Ma'am." The ground
control frequency went terribly silent; no one wanted to
engage the irate ground controller in her current state.
Tension in every cockpit at LGA was running high.
Then an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked,
"Wasn't I married to you once?"
