CHENEY, Lawyer Season Opens in Texas

Gets off with a 'BANG'

The Harpoville Post reports that the 2006 Lawyer Hunting Season opened in Texas today and the event got off with a 'bang', as Vice President Dick Cheney bagged the first Lawyer of the season.

When asked about his kill Mr. Chaney proudly said, "Lawyer's are a tricky bunch, they slide on their bellies like snakes. To bag a lawyer you've got to think like a lawyer."

The annual event is held ouside of Austin in late winter when the cold muck makes it easier for lawyers to slither through the tall Texas grass.
Lawyers come from all over the United States to participate in the event. The prize for the hunter is a stuffed and mounted lawyer to put over your fireplace or hang in your den.
The lawyers that surive the hunt are given prosperous Law practices with such large U.S. coporations as Exxon and Ford Motors. Though thousands of lawyers participate in the event only the toughest, smartest and slimmest survive.

Vice President Dick Cheney added, "I was very lucky to get one so early in the season. Actually, I got him when he was getting out of his Beemer. Now I can take him back to Washington and hang him up in the Oval Office, a present for the President.
