Yup. but sometimes it's hard to know which one. It's easy to dislike lawyers because they are obliged to act as vigorously as possible on behalf of their client, and that client may be the scum of the Earth. However, there are certainly lawyers who go looking out for themselves, as witness the autism and measles business, and IMHO, the current talcum powder and ovarian cancer suits.

.....disproving the myth that all lawyers are greedy crooks.

That's right. It's only 99% who give the other 1% a bad reputation.

My roof lawyer charged me zero......disproving the myth that all lawyers are greedy crooks.

I've never believed that all lawyers are greedy crooks.
In your ladder case, with the client being a lawyer, I would have no doubt went your route, even though I feel it was operator error on your part, not the ladder makers fault for not having a warning label.
Your mom's case I totally get, and that's what my nieces and nephew are trying to do in a state that has laws against them being able to do that.

At least a few believe in keeping their lawns trimmed nicely and are willing to offer the underprivileged a chance to help while getting a free meal. Gotta appreciate that!

So, you asked the question, and answered it in the same post? That was nice of you Mark.

Glad to be of service Bob!

Most really good lawyers.....

Whenever I hear the word "lawyer" I am reminded of what Mark Twain had to say about lawyers.

I have owned a 1972 Camaro since 1979. Currently it is sleeping, not far from my race Z and the brown 1972 240 Z I acquired in the divorce.

Anyway, I saw the photo version of this video a while back, and stumbled on this video this evening. This car is awesome. The craftsmanship and attention to detail the builders went to and the manufacturing of the many bits and parts are top drawer.

Check it out.

......disproving the myth that all lawyers are greedy crooks.

All is a very strong word.

Friday one of my colleagues came to me to complain about a survey he was doing in preparation for a course tomorrow. All the questions, he said, were framed in the absolute language of "all" or "always", and he said his answers for almost all would be of the form, sometimes one side and other times the other, but he would not answer in between. So he went off, was a good boy, and answered all the questions, and the computer scored the result - and he came back and said it did not seem to reflect anything meaningful about him.

I think many people, like those who wrote those questions, are so simple minded they cannot cope with graded results, and so try to make the world fit binary categories.

BTW: that survey was a personality type of survey that came from one of the reasonably famous large consulting companies.

I think of my favorite lawyer joke. Two things I love are Norwegian jokes and lawyer jokes.
What's the ideal weight for a lawyer?

About 4 pounds including the urn.

So, when that happens does some announcer get on the radio to call out "correct weight"?


That was a call I often heard while growing up on the Saturday afternoon sports shows.

Someone find the lawyer joke that goes with this comment. I saw it over in the Joke Thread but can't find it now. I am still laughing!

Post it here, it shows that "lawyer compassion".

How many lawyers does it take to roof a house?


It depends on how thin you slice them.
