You are one lousy risk manager.

Personally, I'm strongly in favor of gagging lawyers, as well as shackles and other appropriate restraints.

I would like judges (and magistrates  ;)) be given the power to force choke any lawyers they see fit, or by simple majority vote from the jury...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Due to recent events, I'm actually going to side with the lawyer on this one.

The *expletive deleted*it people will come up with in and then say in a court of law is amazing.

Also, my boss uses code language, like the drug cartels. We've started calling her El Chappo and tomorrows code word is "lox".

Force powers!  I would love some force powers...

Without seeing video of the incident, my educated guess would be that the lawyer was putting on a show for the jury.  A lot of lawyers pull this crap in front of the jury, trying to convey disdain for witness testimony, judges rulings, etc., to the jury and influence the jury's opinion of the witness, the ruling, etc.  Bush league crap good lawyers don't do.

"...laughed, and stuck her finger down her through..."

Ummmm.....

Sorry, I've been in proofreader mode all day.

Is that a new slang term for something?  I never know how to correct slang and argot.
