Yeah, but he got a huge estate in heaven for being the only lawyer there.

That and the lawyer's clock that every one has that ticks once for every sin was being used as a fan by heaven.

As long as the federal government is in charge of dispensing the arbitration, they should complicate matters as usual by upgrading Rock, Papers, Scissors to RPS-25.
