    Thanks Henry. Never thought as JG as a cynic personally. Just a realist with a dark sense of humor. Often misunderstood as cynics which Im sure you'd agree as an alleged cynic yourself. Insert smiley face here...

    Would love to know his thoughts on what he thinks caused these WIP write downs. Maybe the lawyers loosing their cases has very little do it with it and it's more a result of overcharging and charging out $20 per hour secretaries as though they a $300 an hour lawyers. Some very 'legitimate loopholes' that can be exploited that are frowned upon but not necessarily outlawed.

    Anyway... it's Sunday and a good laugh is in order. An example of the black humor realist I think JG is - a poem from a judge in Ohio.

    Cold showers caused his bowels to malfunction
    Or so the plaintiff claims
    A strict uncaring prison guard
    Is whom the plaintiff blames.
    While in line for recreation
    And little time for hesitation
    His anal sphincter just exploded
    The plaintiff’s britches quickly loaded.
    It made the inmates laugh and play
    To see the plaintiff’s pants this way
    The foul, unsightly, putrid mess
    Caused the plaintiff major stress.
    Claiming loss and shame to boot
    The plaintiff filed the present suit
    But the law provideth no relief
    From such unmitigated grief.
    Neither runs nor constipation
    Can justify this litigation
    Whether bowels constrict or flex
    De minimus non curat lex. [The law takes no account of trifles.]

    Lol. Thank Christ people like this still exist.

    But a dying breed I fear. Insert sad face here...
