It's really, REALLY fun to crack those jokes though. Especially if you know that the squares find them offensive. I don't care how much people want me to grow up. I'm not going to do it. It's FUN acting like a juvenile. I CAN discuss Flaubert, Ghiberti or St. Francis of Assisi with anyone, but it's much more FUN to talk about porn.

Totally agreed. It is bad enough to have to be serious in our work but who the fuck wants to carry that shit over into personal time?* The other problem with lawyers is that many of them come from a long line of sub-human tight-asses. Most of the fun lawyers that I know came into this the way that I did -- first in the family to not be a blue-collar clock-puncher. Maybe it is because, despite all of the whining of working so much for it, we get our paychecks and inside say "fucking "a" I am gonna ride this bitch until the wheels fall off because I make 4+ times what my folks did in their best year." Or maybe we were just never taught how to "act" properly -- and I do mean "act."
*Which is why I left lawfirm life. Working corporate means less of an asshole quotient in my experience. These guys don't gape when I say "fuck."
