 |  |  |  | #6384 |  | Virginia law forbids bathtubs in the house; tubs must be kept in the yard. 
 |  |  |  | #6385 |  | We may not like doctors, but at least they doctor.  Bankers are not ever popular but at least they bank.  Policeman police and undertakers take
 under.  But lawyers do not give us law.  We receive not the gladsome light
 of jurisprudence, but rather precedents, objections, appeals, stays,
 filings and forms, motions and counter-motions, all at $250 an hour.
 -- Nolo News, summer 1989
 
 |  |  |  | #6386 |  | We should realize that a city is better off with bad laws, so long as they remain fixed, then with good laws that are constantly being altered, that
 the lack of learning combined with sound common sense is more helpful than
 the kind of cleverness that gets out of hand, and that as a general rule,
 states are better governed by the man in the street than by intellectuals.
 These are the sort of people who want to appear wiser than the laws, who
 want to get their own way in every general discussion, because they feel that
 they cannot show off their intelligence in matters of greater importance, and
 who, as a result, very often bring ruin on their country.
 -- Cleon, Thucydides, III, 37 translation by Rex Warner

 |  |  |  | #6388 |  | What do you have when you have six lawyers buried up to their necks in sand? Not enough sand.
 
 |  |  |  | #6389 |  | When alerted to an intrusion by tinkling glass or otherwise, 1) Calm yourself 2) Identify the intruder 3) If hostile, kill him.
 
 Step number 3 is of particular importance.  If you leave the guy alive
 out of misguided softheartedness, he will repay your generosity of spirit
 by suing you for causing his subsequent paraplegia and seek to force you
 to support him for the rest of his rotten life.  In court he will plead
 that he was depressed because society had failed him, and that he was
 looking for Mother Teresa for comfort and to offer his services to the
 poor.  In that lawsuit, you will lose.  If, on the other hand, you kill
 him, the most that you can expect is that a relative will bring a wrongful
 death action. You will have two advantages: first, there be only your
 story; forget Mother Teresa.  Second, even if you lose, how much could
 the bum's life be worth anyway?  A Lot less than 50 years worth of
 paralysis.  Don't play George Bush and Saddam Hussein.  Finish the job.

 |  |  |  | #6392 |  | Why does New Jersey have more toxic waste dumps and California have more lawyers?
 
 New Jersey had first choice.
