Dumb Lawyer Joke Limerick

Five dumb lawyers moved to Buenos Aires 
Those attorneys simply couldn't care less
   They didn't speak Spanish  
   Their livelihoods vanished
Verdict: "Our law schools didn't prepare us!"

Right, Alexis. Those lawyers should have stayed in the States---where they could have practiced their Spanish (most everywhere in the country now), and THEN moved to Buenos Aires! LOL. Thanks for commenting. Best wishes, Gershon

It's funny how some highly educated people can lack basic common sense - if you move to South America, maybe learn some Spanish? :)

Well, that's true, Michelle. Then again, if you move to the USA, maybe learn some Spanish first too?! (2010: 41.4% of public school K-5 students had parents who spoke Spanish as a first language. (Source - Chicago Tribune). ~ gw
