Given the state of things in the USA - to me personally there is NOTHING worse than a lawyer for a bank.


Years ago in law school we were told that sometimes jurors would agree.

The case in point was entitled "Bank of America vs. Little Sisters of the Poor".

OK so it was a zoning beef that became a lawsuit, of some kind, but you get the point I am making here.

If I were a lawyer I would not see the girl but would give the driver of the car my business card.

I just never like taking whole groups and saying "all people from Texas are gun loving shoot first and ask questions later cowboy idiots". You know, stuff like that.

There are three occupations that have the lowest rates.....

The first would be Clergy. This would include Nuns.

By a more defined occupation I would say the lowest rate would be found among Popes. Not a single incident throughout recorded human history.

President of the United States is also an occupation that seems devoid of this, but there is some speculation that Harding actually died from it.

I am temped to say oil industry workers because over a many, many year period of working in a company that had around 80,000 employees I can only think of two cases. We actually discussed this once and decided that everyone was too tired at the end of the day to put forth the effort.

Has the topic changed?

Are you REALLY trying to say

"all people who are cops from Texas are gun loving shoot first and ask questions later cowboy idiots".

I've heard talk that some hungry lawyers like to hang around airports.

You know, waiting for the "Big One".

They have LOTS of business cards with them.

But, we are told, with pious sanctimony, the purpose for this is ONLY to use the cards to soak up the blood.

That is strictly a hypothetical example chosen to make folks think about it.

I see you changed my quote to say cops. I did not say cops.

He didn't say you said that, he clearly asked if that was what you are really trying to say. Go look. It's small words and a short sentence.
