“How can you tell when a lawyer is well hung” (lawyer joke)

A popular women’s joke about men is:
 
Q: How can you tell when a man is well-hung?
A: When you can just barely slip your finger in between his neck and the noose.
 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 1997. It was turned into a lawyer joke by at least 2001:
