Preying on the poor

Leeches in Society

Preying on the poor! 

The wealthy go to banks if they need cash and pay far less interest, the poor cannot get loans so these leeches feed off their fiscal deficiencies.

TOO LATE

Sean is the pastor of a Church of England parish on the Northern Ireland/ Southern Ireland border and Patrick is the priest in the Roman Catholic Church across the road.. 

One day they are seen together, erecting a sign into the ground, which says: 

TA END IS NEAR!

TURN YERSELF AROUND NOW

AFOR IT IS TOO LATE!

As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells, "Leave people alone, you Oirish religious nutters! We don't need your lectures." 

From the next curve they hear screeching tyres and a big splash.

Shaking his head, Rev. Patrick says "Dat's da terd one dis mornin'."

"Yaa," Pastor Sean agrees, then asks, "Do ya tink maybe da sign should just say, 'Bridge Out?'"

Benevolent Lawyer

One  afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw

two men  along the road-side eating grass.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver  to stop and got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you  eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man  replied.

"We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with  me to my house and I'll feed you, " the lawyer said. "But sir, I  have a wife and two children with me.

They are over there,
under that  tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied

Turning to  the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also."
The second  man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife
and  SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all as well," the lawyer  answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even  for a car as large
as the limousine was.

Once under way, one of  the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said,
"Sir, you are too  kind."

"Thank you for taking all of us with you.

The lawyer  replied, "Glad to do it.
You'll really love my place.
The grass is  almost a foot high."


Come  on now...you really didn't think there was such a thing as  a
heart-warming lawyer story..did you????
