[NeoCaveman]

Send me the templates...that way it looks all professional-like.

[RikaStrom]

LOL, maybe you should shame one of the other croqs into being the sub on Thursday??

[NeoCaveman]

Another quiet day...well here's a little story that might liven things up.

Lawyer has sex with her client in Jail

I just know there is a joke about billable hours in here somewhere.

I just know there is a joke about billable hours in here somewhere.

LOL!!! I'm sure you imagine the images your statement conjured up - and I haven't even read the article yet!!!

[VRWCmember]

Did you see this story?

[VRWCmember]

Barrie Althoff, professionalism counsel for the bar association and former chief of disciplinary matters, said the ethical rules for lawyers in Washington are clear: No sex with clients.

That's right! Lawyers can only screw their clients figuratively.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL!!! I'm sure you imagine the images your statement conjured up - and I haven't even read the article yet!!!

LOL. Of course.

[NeoCaveman]

Did you see this story?

"I'm not dead yet.
I'm feeling better"

Everything gets back to Monty Python

[RikaStrom]

Ack, I saw that. Poor man.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL, maybe you should shame one of the other croqs into being the sub on Thursday??

Well who's around. It seems that most people who have done it before are on vacation.

[RikaStrom]

I know. Who said they could go on vacation??! LOL

[xsmommy]

i am sorry i was absent, i was called away on an emergency hair appt....

[xsmommy]

i am going to volunteer the tiger, in absentia, to sub on thursday, he isn't here to defend himself, all the better. i have to set foot in my ofc to see how things look there and then maybe i will be available friday.

[SeaDragon]

i was called away on an emergency hair appt....

LOL

I thought all hair appts were emergencies........

[xsmommy]

well this goes back to my guy's de minimus schedule (he has a marble tile business full time and does this on the side). so i sucked it up and called and got whoever was available for the dyejob and cut. i ended up with a women i have had before and she was quite good. i am happy and my hair looks good. We are going away this weekend, so i could not wait for my beloved Gianni.

[RikaStrom]

i am going to volunteer the tiger, in absentia, to sub on thursday, he isn't here to defend himself, all the better.

That's because he's at a (looking around... whispering) BEACH!.

LOL, the stuffed one can't teach.

[xsmommy]

he will be back by thursday though, and yes he is at the beach, likely turning into a lobster. with any luck he will be painfully red by the time he returns to work....

[xsmommy]

i would volunteer the KY goofball to sub but he will likely be in Las Vegas doing all manner of evil deeds by then.; )

[SeaDragon]

Well at least you got it done before you went away. Don't want to go anywhere with bad hair.
