Falling Down in America

An American attorney had just finished a guest lecture at a Law School in Italy, when an Italian lawyer approached him.

The Italian lawyer asked, "Is it true, that a person can fall down on a sidewalk in your county and then sue the landowners for lots of money?"

Told that it was true, the lawyer turned to his partner and started speaking rapidly in Italian.

When they stopped, the American attorney asked if they wanted to move to America to practice law.

"No, no," one replied. "We want to move to America to fall down on sidewalks."
