Just like Ms Market to do something like that. Get the bulls all lathered up and then....WHAMMO!!! pull the rug out from underneath 'em.

A lawyer and his two stockbroker buddies took a month off to sail across the Atlantic. Midway across they hit a hurricane and the yacht sank, leaving barely enough time for all three to radio for help and scramble into a rubber life raft.
The raft was riding very low in the water and being circled relentlessly by six or seven sharks when a Coast Guard launched a small rescue boat. A giant wave came along and swamped the survivor's raft. In an instant the sharks mauled the stockbrokers into little more than hamburger, but then broke apart to form a pathway and escort the survivor safely into the hands of the Coast Guard.
"Damn!" gasped one of the astonished sailors. "That was a miracle!"
"Nah," explained the lawyer modestly, wringing the seawater out of his shirt. "Just professional courtesy."

===================
When that joke is considered funnier with the roles of the lawyer and the stockbrokers reversed, it will likely mean that THE bottom is near.

Actually, the joke is about a lawyer, a priest and a doctor.
Their raft is leaking in shark-filled waters and they know only one person can make it to shore. They debate who is more valuable to socieity. The priest, being a good Christian, nobly sacrifices himself. The doctor, being a doctor and thinking he is GAWD doesn't want to got go, but the lawyer is better at arguing and the doctor loses, so he jumps overboard, and, like the priest, is devoured by sharks immediately. The lawyer paddles frantically for the shore but the raft leaks too fast and the horrified people on the beach watch as he stands up in the raft, and snaps his fingers. The sharks immediately stop circling, and, instead, line up in a row from the raft to the shore, nose to tail with their fins sticking out of the water. Checking to make sure his tie is straight, the lawyer grabs his briefcase, and, just as the raft is sinking under the water, calmly steps out of it onto the fin of the first shark and nonchalantly walks on the fins/backs of the sharks to the shore.
The awestruck crowd is speechless.
Finally a young lad breaks the silence: H-h-h-how did you do THAT, Mister?" he asks, incredulously.
The lawyer shrugs nonchalantly.
"Simple," he says, diffidently. "It was merely a matter of professional courtesy."
Be NICE to lawyers!!! After ALL, you may NEED one someday!
