Funny Poop
·         A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean.
The lawyer said, "I'm here because my house burned down, and everything I owned was destroyed by the fire.  The insurance company paid for everything."
"That's quite a coincidence," said the engineer.  "I'm here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything."
The lawyer looked somewhat confused.  "How do you start a flood?" he asked.
