Ok ok,
What are lawyers really?
To me a lawyer is basically the person that knows the rules of the country. We’re all throwing the dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there’s a problem, the lawyer is the only person that has actually read the inside of the top of the box.
Nitewing, one of my close associates, should be a lawyer. He always has this carnal need to read the instructions off these boxes.
I think probably the most fun thing a lawyer can do is say, “Objection.” “Objection! Objection, Your Honor!” Objection, of course, is the adult version of ” ‘fraid not!” To which the judge can say two things.
He can say, “Overruled,” which is the adult version of ” ‘Fraid so.” Or he can say “Sustained,” which is the adult version of “Duh. Now suck it up”
What are lawyers? They could be defined as grown-ups we kids really need to be around sometimes.
Cheers.
ps: Boston Legal will never seem the same again.
