Both outside and within a [[profession]] such as [[law]] there are
[[joke]]s which serve to poke fun at the peculiarities of the profession. Such [[humor]] is called '''professional humor'''. Jokes tend to exploit popular stereotypes about the profession in question: [[Lawyer jokes|lawyer jokes]]s might present them as lacking in ethics, [[Scientist jokes|scientist jokes]] might play up their lack of worldly wisdom  and [[accountancy]] jokes might address "creative accounting". A speaker at a professional seminar will often break the ice
with a bit of professonal humor.

Professional humor must be distinguished from [[in-joke]]s, those which can only be appreciated only a member of a specific profession.

See also: [[Mathematical joke]]s.
