"So, because I charged this guy so much per hour, he had to give me one of his kids."

Published in 1912 Glasgow, "Lawyers' merriments."  Its subjects are "Law--Humor" and "Lawyers--Humor."  Doesn't say whether it's comprised of anecdotes or one-liners but I wonder if this classic made the cut (cuz it sounds like the kind of cynicism that might've been circling even a century ago):  How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving.
