Good idea, Patricia! Here they are: The winner is John Minukus for his line “Is now a good time to talk or should I come back during dinner?” And the runners up (in random order) are:
-I’m one of the few lawyers who makes house calls (Bill Cole)
-Good day, sir. Is this tub the therapeutic medical device you claimed as a tax deduction? (Elizabeth Cottrell)
-Seems your Blackberry’s off. Just one last file before we call it a day. (Frances Peck)
-Don’t be embarrassed, sir. I’m not wearing pants, either. (Ron Jette)
-You’ve been served! (Christine Graham)
-Good day, sir. I have a solution to clear your water pipes. (Claudine Laforce)
-Sue told me I would find you here to sign the divorce papers.” (Vinnika Johnson)
-I’m a man of wealth and taste. (Philomena Sucharda)
-I have flushed-out your recent tax return and found several violations of the tax code that need addressing immediately (Marvin Sager)

Any chance of repeating them here, so they are all together on the original cartoon post?

No limit, I’m afraid. (I say “afraid” because we’ve had so many!) Next time I’ll set a limit for sure!
