As a current law school student I am baffled and offended at the Lockhorns' descent into lousy lawyer jokes. Now, I'll appreciate a clever, witty dig at the legal profession, but this one barely qualifies as a joke. We get it lawyers are bad. How can they even tell it's a lawyer? Are they just making broad assumptions based on looks? Are they expecting a lawyer? Is it their lawyer? Are they being sued? Too many question, not enough answers. Of course the biggest question to ask here is: were they really expecting a wolf at the door initially?

You know this joke could have easily been improved into a quality Lockhorns zing by simply replacing "a lawyer" with "your mother". Alas, it's a push.
