“What do you get when you cross a lawyer with a demon from hell?”/“Another lawyer.”

A lawyer joke is:
 
Q: What do you get when you cross a lawyer with a demon from hell?
A: Another lawyer.

 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 1989, when it was published in the Chicago (IL) Tribune.

For the general public the answer to such question is unsurprising: “another lawyer” (http://jokes4all.net/hell.html). There are numerous similar kind of jokes through which the public express their frustration and mistrust of the legal profession.
