👔 Classic Dad Joke

What do lawyers wear to court?

Lawsuits!

Why This Joke Works

A "lawsuit" is a legal proceeding — something lawyers file in court. But break it apart and it's a "law suit" — a suit (clothing) for law. The joke asks about what they wear, and the answer is the exact word that describes their actual job. It's hiding in plain sight.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Ask the setup like you're genuinely curious about legal dress codes. Say "lawsuits" with a slight pause between "law" and "suits" so the double meaning registers.

Perfect for:

  • •Watching a courtroom drama on TV together
  • •When your kid asks what lawyers do
  • •Getting dressed up for a formal event and complaining about wearing a suit

The word "corny" for bad jokes dates back to the 1930s — it originally referred to humor found in seed catalogs sent to corn farmers, which were famously full of terrible puns.
