“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” - it’s a lawyer joke.

The argument of this remark as in fact being favorable to lawyers is a marvel of sophistry, twisting of the meaning of words in unfamiliar source, disregard of the evident intent of the original author and ad hominem attack. Whoever first came up with this interpretation surely must have been a lawyer.

OH!

That thou shalt not steele thine anger,
And let not thy piercing blade of shiny, shiny bluest bright
Be interposed, twixt gut and bladder on this night.

Rather, stay disapprobation,
That desire and despair not overtake thee,
Nor cause thy Pit and pithy words
To rend the fabric of discourse.

Stroll forth with thy Pit battled beasties,
Balanced in halcyon repose, pinging not
To the Chet of thine abradement.

FRiends, Republicans, countrymen,
look at those ears!
I come to pillory Seizer, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Seizer.

Unleash thy inner bard. . . .

Should be, "Unleash thine inner bard. . . ." The possessive pronoun is followed by a vowel sound, so the "n" sound is added to "thy," making "thine." It's like unto "a" book/"an" apple.
