In Court

The judge gave the guy five days in the can, but reconsidered when I told him that the guy would lose his job. I pointed out that he was trying to turn his life around and losing the job wouldn't help. The judge agreed, but told him he'd be spending 30 days in jail if he didn't work 30 hours a week and prove it by bringing in his pay stubs at the end of June.

Client: Man, he was in a bad mood.

Me: I told you to wear a turtleneck. Your barbed-wire tattoo sent the wrong message.

Client: He was in a bad mood.

Me: No, if he was in a bad mood, you wouldn't be standing here.

I like that there is flexibility in your law. You are a good lawyer Bill.
