A Lawyer who had a wife and twelve children needed to move because his lease was terminated by the owner who wanted to reoccupy the home. But he was having a lot of difficulty finding a new house.

When he said he had twelve children, no one would rent a home to him because they felt that the children would destroy the place. 

He couldn’t say that he had no children, because he couldn’t lie – We all know that lawyers cannot and do not lie.

So he sent his wife for a walk to the cemetery with eleven of their kids. He took the remaining one with him to see rental homes with the real estate agent.

He loved one of the homes and the price was right. The agent asked: “How many children do you have?” The man answered: ” Twelve”. The agent asked: “Where are the others?” The lawyer with his best courtroom sad look answered: “They’re in the cemetery with their mother.”

The moral of the story- It’s not necessary to lie. One only has to choose the right words (and don’t forget, lots of politicians are unfortunately lawyers).
