Never thought there was any plagiarism in the first place, but never mind...some greedy lawyers have made a pile out this.

Old joke.....what the difference between the skid marks on the road when a skunk is run over and when a lawyer is run over ?

There are no skid marks when a lawyer is run over !

well done boys, waste of time but then it was bloody California as to the judicial system, and that place is as mad as a bog of toads when it comes to some of their rulings.....you never want to sign a contract under Californian law, by the way. Go for Delaware or New York.....

Not all jokes cross the Atlantic equally well, Mikey. The reasons why a motorist would want to avoid a skunk rather than splattering it like any other roadkill may be lost on some of us, on this side of the pond.

[Tuvok]

Don't get the joke.

[mikey4444]

Sorry...I may have beggered up the joke !

What I meant to say is that there are no skid marks when a lawyer is run over, as they are not like overly much.

[Bertrum]

Didn't bother to brake for the lawyer

[mikey4444]

Thanks Bertrum !

Finally, the old saying 'everyone's a comedian' is proved to be rubbish.

1) Skunks still exude their scent after they are squished.
2) Jimmy Page is a very nice man.
