A surgeon, an architect and a lawyer are having a heated barroom discussion concerning which of their professions is actually the oldest profession.
The surgeon says: "SURGERY is the oldest profession. God took a rib from Adam to create Eve and you can't go back further than that."
The architect says: "Hold on! In fact, God was the first architect when he created the world out of chaos in 7 days, and you can't go back any further than THAT!"
The lawyer puffs his cigar and says: "Gentlemen, Gentlemen...who do you think created the CHAOS??!!"

I think the above illustrates well the general attitude of pretty much everyone who ahhh, isn't a lawyer (or married to one). The legal system we've allowed to flourish and control our lives has made us all ridiculously and outrageously beholden to the law profession and it's chief weapons; unnatural rote memory skills and Type A+ argumentative personalities.
Definition of a lawyer: One who's learned how to pick flyshit out of pepper and get paid for it.
We have, over centuries, allowed ourselves to be cowed, and, ultimately governed by bitchy bookworms.
Lawyers make the worst politicians.
