A shipwreck leaves three survivors in a single lifeboat. They are by profession a doctor, a lawyer and a priest. The lifeboat seems to be drifting toward and island where they will be safe until they are rescued, but the boat is surrounded by sharks looking for a meal.
Then, the tide starts to go out and the lifeboat slowly begins to move away from the island. "Well," says the doctor, "Someone's going to have to grab that rope up in the bow, jump in the water and tow us to shore. Of, course, I can't do it because whoever does it might be seriously injured and need my attention."
"I can't do it either," replies the priest," Because whoever does may need last rites."
They both look at the lawyer, who shrugs her shoulders, grabs the tow rope, jumps in the water and begins to tow the lifeboat to shore. The sharks form a phalanx on either side of the swimming lawyer, guiding her through the currents.
"Glory be to God!" exclaims the priest, "It's a miracle!"
"Calm down Father," rejoins the doctor, "That's just professional courtesy."

I can't really find online the significance of this particular trinity in the joke realm (doctor, lawyer, priest), or its etymology. Interesting that so many jokes have this trinity in them at a minimum.
It may have to do with everyone needing one or all of them at some point in their life.

A joke from the movie "The Doctor"...
During operating on a patient, the Surgeon (William Hurt) says, "What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer? One is a bottom-dwelling, scum-sucking scavenger, and the other is just a fish!"

My wife is a lawyer, as well.
She rarely finds lawyer joke amusing. I'm sure it hits to close to home.

What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?
There are skid marks in front of the dog.

I was going to post, but Herself had another fall - trying to separate cat and prey this time - and I just got back. Don't think anything broke this time, which is good news, but it meant I missed the end time.

What do you mean by "romance"? She received flowers? Went on a long walk? Got a heartfelt letter? What? The suspense is killing me!
