"So Babar Awan has made history."
"Well, I am not sure if he has made history - the proceedings of the reference would make history though and once that starts, Awan would no longer be the only player if you know what I mean but what Awan has done is silenced his detractors who maintained that he was in for the ministry."
"I am not sure he has silenced his detractors...There are many who say they witnessed him distributing sweets after Z A Bhutto's judicial murder." "Awan was asked that question and he first he said no comment and later said he doesn't respond to lies."
"I see. Do you have any lawyer jokes?"
"I am not sure what you mean?"
"What's the difference between a lawyer and a bucket of pond scum?"
"What?"
"The answer is a bucket."
"Hey, I have got one. How do you tell if it is REALLY cold outside? Give up? A lawyer has his hands in his own pockets."
"I have another one. How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb? Give up? Fifty-four. Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time cards, one to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty-eight to bill for professional services."
"But who will pay for the services of Babar Awan?"
"No individual, the state is party to the reference. Besides payment is not always in cash."
"I guess... but I have one other joke: what's the difference between a mortician and a lawyer?"
"One takes a one off payment on death while the lawyer doesn't stop till the dead guy's estate is depleted."
"I have another one. The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can arrange some things for you," the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity. The lawyer thought for a moment. "What's the catch?" he asked."
