Two lawyers boarded a flight out of Calgary. One sat in the window seat, and the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, an accountant got on and took the aisle seat next to the two lawyers. The accountant kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in, when the lawyer in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a coke."

"No problem," said the accountant, "I'll get it for you."

While he was gone, one of the lawyers picked up the accountant's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the coke, the other lawyer said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too."

Again, the accountant obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other lawyer picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The Accountant returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the Accountant slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on?" he asked. "This fighting between our groups? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

There was a supposedly true story about U.S. Grant traveling to a political convention in Philadelphia. It was raining and had been for days. The roads were just about impassable and Grant was a mess when he finally arrived at his hotel. There was also a lawyers convention in town and a group of lawyers was standing around the fireplace in the lobby drinking when Grant walked in. One of the lawyers saw Grant and called out loudly. Look at this fellow. He looks to have passed through Hell itself to get here. Tell me sir how is it out there? Grant looked straight at the lawyer and removing his cigar from his mouth replied," Same as in here. Lawyers closest to the fire."
