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 joke]]s might present them as lacking in ethics, 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.
