Look at it this way, Bill. Not all those fucking lawyers really fuck. If there is anything genetic about their behavior, it will die out in a few lines.

Sociopaths may be an apt label for the lawyers you describe.

It's posts like this that remind me how much I adore you and Stacey. :-)

BTW, as a person whose activities are very limited because of multiple herniated discs, I just wish golfing or sky diving were an option. Okay, not really, because I was never interested in either activity before the problems started. I just want to be able to go for a walk in the neighborhood, or sit still during a movie. Or hold a baby for longer than 2 minutes.

Maybe life will improve if I sue someone. Maybe suing is the answer to everyone's problems. (Can you sense the extreme eye-rolling I'm doing?)

oh thanks for reminding me... of that fabulous pizza supper at Danny Boy's, and then the even more fabulous full-on Italian feast we enjoyed at Enzo's or wherever the hell it was you took me when I came to town to perform emergency legal services in '04. My retainer agreement is in the mail.

I used to work in a minor emergency clinic/family practice. We treated Workers Comp patients. You wanna talk about scams?

Hoo boy, could I tell you some tales...

Posted a new stupid criminal story for you on my blog:

I used to work (paralegal) for a successful litigation firm, where the senior partner was fond of reminding us, "even scumbags need good lawyers."
