hotchickattitude Apr 04, 2004	i thought that like sam was the name uv da lawyer as well....but urs is much betta!!!
lucylizzy Apr 21, 2004	Couldn't it be someone else who was in jail, like a friend or relative of them or something? But still really great!
sam9874 May 24, 2004	That was a good one.. clever and tricky but not to tricky!!.. Great Job!

crystalstar Jun 25, 2004	Urrn. Pretty good but I heard that one only about a million times before.
rashad Jul 07, 2004	You caught me on that i thought it was his legal time to go out that is to say that his prison sentence is finished...
jakeodee Dec 29, 2004	Ha Ha Ha Good One
froggygg Apr 10, 2005	I got that one right away. Easy but still clever.

Psychic_Master Apr 29, 2006	Good one ! The hint was very useful! I liked it!
Smart_Alex May 02, 2006	Ooh! I thought he was PLAYING MONOPOLY with his lawyer!
VeggieTail May 07, 2007	I liked this one, but I feel the hint was entirely unnecessary. Let 'em figure it out on their own.
4demo Jun 14, 2007	Wow, what a fun twist! Unfortunately, I didn't get it. I thought maybe Sam was convincing his lawyer to bribe the judge, who was the lawyer's wife, or something. Great teaser!
dudebomb93 Oct 29, 2007	WOW that was EASY!!! nice one though, i love being able to solve them
annvie9 Apr 27, 2008	I thought Sam was visiting his friend in jail
BJBland2004 Jul 14, 2008	Lawyers have to be able to think like a criminal. I guess this one went too far.
thisisme91 Dec 05, 2008	Got it easy when I read "lawyer in jail" Cool one though.
mathisnice Jun 28, 2009	I thought either his jail time was up,or the judge changed his/he mind.
bear01 Mar 08, 2010	i thought it was a third party they were talking about. but your answer is more cleverer than my answer. nice one
jimbooth019 Mar 08, 2010	I got it with out the hint, but I liked the way the hints were written. Thanks
doehead Mar 08, 2010	I've seen so many of these type teasers that the answer was easy.
bradon182001 Mar 08, 2010	You got me. Last thing I would have thought of. Thanks for posting.
patiencewithaP Mar 08, 2010	Fun!
xdbtcp Mar 08, 2010	I thought he was in there for public intox, and by the time they were done talking he had sobered up...
qua006 Mar 08, 2010	if I'm visiting my lawyer in jail, I think I might get a new lawyer.
emu77alu02 Mar 08, 2010	The answer came rather quickly to me, but I am still wondering why he is visiting his lawyer? I would probably never visit mine.
EMB92 Mar 08, 2010	I thought that possibly he was now going to his trial? Great teaser.
wattsofawesome Mar 08, 2010	What is not mentioned is that Sam's ankle bracelet is beeping right now...
TallTimber Mar 08, 2010	Would have to agree with qua006.
HarryPutter Mar 08, 2010	Too easy
auntiesis Mar 08, 2010	Fun , but really easy.
Cirnol64 Mar 08, 2010	I said he wasn't the one in jail. Close but I guess the lawyer was important too.
angelfinder Mar 08, 2010	It was fun.. but it was too easy! I didn't even have to think about it!The answer was obvious.
stdedos Mar 10, 2010	Or else, they could both just visiting the jail, for some other reason
wtfonfire Mar 13, 2010	it was pretty cool
braingle100 Jan 21, 2011	THis teaser kinda seems like it belongs in situation....
Babe Mar 08, 2013	Very, very, easy! Got it as soon as I read it!
HABS2933 Mar 08, 2013	That was the first thing I thought of then figured it couldn't be right because it was too easy. Once I noticed it was in the "trick" category I was sure I was on the wrong track. Not sure "Trick" is the best fit for category.
cutebug Mar 08, 2013	Very very easy. Stero type teaser. Seen way to many of these.
gaylewolf Mar 08, 2013	I almost never read jokes or do quizzes that have anything to do with attorneys, but... (Just kidding!) Have a great weekend, everyone!
