Hehehe. Good ones! I heard a couple of these some time ago, aimed at lawyers.
Many years ago I was Director of Corporate Development and Senior Scientist of a multi-national research company and had often daily contacts with lawyers from companies that we were acquiring. (See your third joke.) They would send me documents with a lot of (very) fine print, evidently in the hope that I would skip over it. I took to writing letters and documents back to them entirely in the tiniest font I could find, and in unchangeable PDF format. Eventually the smarter lawyers got it and sent even their fine print in regular font sizes. The other thing I learnt about lawyers was NEVER to bring them into strategic discussions, and only involve them when it came time to draft formal agreements after all the key substantive points of the deal had been agreed to by the 'real people' in the companies.
