other voices

Yesterday I spied my lawyer
standing in the courthouse foyer
chatting up my ex to be
I asked
"do you intend to bill her?"

"Well bill and coo and maybe drill her"
he responded with inordinate glee.

"It's not enough she's got the car,
the kids, the house, and all my stuff;
must she have you? She's fairly stripped me bare."

He straightened up his tie
gave me his coolest smile and with a wink said
"Really John, I didn't know you'd care."

Hmmmm - I suppose when you think about it, divorce lawyers have every opportunity to meet lonely, angry, frustrated women... not to mention knowing which ones have the money.

I was about to agree with Princess Fuff when I realised that Seb might end up bashed... on the other hand, he isn't a barrister yet, so...

Lawyers are bastards. ;-)

You can say what you want about what is wrong with America, but it all boils down to the bloodsuckers behind the scenes. There should be a bounty on lawyers, $500 an ear.

That sounds like an interesting story or a lawyer that has not been punished for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person enough times.
