My favorite REALTOR joke

John Doe wanted to see a home Realtor X had listed. It was under construction and as luck would have it while showing the property, John fell through a plywood floor and got a nasty cut on his leg by a nail sticking out of a 2x4. Realtor X wanted him to go to the emergency room but John declined and went about his normal business. The next morning John noticed a red area around the cut but went to work anyway. By night time when he got ready for bed, there was swelling and by morning the red streak up the leg was prominent. He finally called and got a doctor appointment for that evening. The doctor gave him pills and a shot but 3 days later the leg was really swollen and John was admitted to the hospital. The following day he went into surgery to have the leg removed.
Now, the interesting part. The surgeon, by accident, messed up and removed the wrong leg. John awoke in the hospital room to find this out. He immediately was rushed back to surgery and had the correct leg removed. He was devastated and called his attorney who promptly filed suit against the Realtor, the contractor, the home seller, the hospital, the doctors and anyone who had anything at all to do with his now pathetic condition.
The trial was long and drawn out and finally at the end all were surprised at the verdict…
The Judge threw out all charges stating the plaintiff “did not have a leg to stand on”. See, REALTORS have a sense of humor!
