What an idiot. They cleaners have offered to give him the pants back, but now he claims that they aren't the right ones? He can't site any law that supports his claim, can't site why it's fraud, the list just goes on. He's wasting the court's time with this stupid case. What a jerk.

It takes a real mental giant to inflate a pair of pants into $54 mil, put yourself up for worldwide ridicule and blow a cruise job that paid $100 K a year. It looks like he's starting act two.

I just wanna walk up to this ex-judge with some rags and say "Here's your new suit, Now wear it!" And then thwack him with something heavy. He's not using his brain.

Sadly, we have some lawyers like that here in San Diego. One is famous for "threating" a disability lawsuit aginst small businesses, but he is "willing" to settle (I call it extortion) out of court. net result is that some have had to go out of business, others spend thousands.

REALLY raises the sympathy for disable person(s) that really need the accomodations. (not so much)

I have met some like this in my professional life, they refuse to take "no" for an answer! I think it must me a personality flaw, as I have delt with many lawyers that are very reasonable. and they still accomplish a mutual benifit to both partys.

Sounds like somebody who went into law school for the purpose of inflating their ego, or because they're a control freak. People like that should be disbarred permanently. What do you call 500 lawyers in the bottom of the sea? A good start.... :D:

What do you call a slimy-jerk-lawyer buried up to his neck in cement?

Not enough Cement. :)

What's the difference between your car running over a lawyer and your car running over a skunk? :flower:
You slow down for the skunk! :p:

Not necessary -- I love lawyer jokes. (I work with several of them. <rimshot> :D :) For months after graduating law school, while I was looking for a job and waiting on Bar Exam results, I wore a button that said, "I'd hate lawyers, too, if only I weren't one"!

***

A rural sheriff gets a call that a bus full of lawyers has overturned. When he arrives at the scene, he finds a nearby farmer on his tractor just finishing covering all the bodies with dirt.

"Weren't there any survivors?" the Sheriff asks.

"Oh, some of them said they were still alive," the farmer replies, "but you know how lawyers lie..." :D:

Q: How do you keep a lawyer from drowning?

A: Shoot him before he hits the water. :D:
