	rebel against all authority.

	If he didn't resign the incorrectly signed
	paperwork, he would be forced to resign.

	The advocate was called to advocate on behalf
	of the defendant.

A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.

The old guy fingered his expensive wool vest and said,
"Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression.
I was down to my last nickel."

"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day
polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the
apple for ten cents."

"The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples.
I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm
for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end
of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $9.80."

"Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

if it's any good, I'll send you a check."

In a short time he received the  following reply: "Please send check. If
it's any good, we'll send the engine."

Giving a man his physical, a doctor
noticed several dark, ugly bruises on
his shins, so he asked, "Do you play
hockey, soccer, or any physical sport?"

"Not at all. I just play bridge with my wife."
