Well Garth I must admit you pulled that one off rather smoothly.
On a similar note, any good lawyer or priest can attest to the fact that there are laws requiring how deep a person must be buried.
Most people must be buried between 6 - 10 feet. But, all lawyers MUST be buried between 15 - 20 feet deep.
Now, when this first came to my attention I inquired why? So, after doing a bit of research I finally found the answer. Oddly enough the answer was found in the sociology section of the New York Library.
The facts of the matter were that: "Deep down", lawyers are good people too!" ;-}

A truck drive who had just gone through a long and painful divorce and felt screwed by both his and wife's lawyers had started a habit of running over lawyers. Whenever one was walking along the road, he would swerve and run him over.
One day, he had run down three lawyers when he noticed a priest walking along the side of the road. He stopped and offered the priest a ride.
About two minutes later he noticed a lawyer up ahead, and out of habit began to swerve to hit him. At the last second he remembered the priest along side him and swerved back onto the road. Just then he hears a "thump".
"Geez, Father" he says, I'm sorry. I almost hit that lawyer."
"Don't worry, my son," the priest replied, "I got him with the door."
