Hillarious, but just in the states? Harry, I suspect you may have your share of fools across the pond.

Reblogged this on THE WRITER BY DAY and commented:
Okay. This has nothing to do with poetry or writing, but hang onto your seat. It’s hysterical. Happy weekend all …
I just fell off the bed laughing.
Thank you!
Reblogging.
Who’s the author of this great tome? 😉
Thanks for the reblog Jamie, the author, who knows 🙂
Actually, that question sounds like I’m one of those lawyers. It would be an editor …. anyway I wanted to buy a copy of the book and found there are several with the same or similar names. Does NOT bode well for us. Thanks again for the laugh. Happy days, Harry.
Hilarious! This was read-aloud worthy!
Naomi, thanks commenting and for your visit, please call again.
What a hoot!
Now I think that I might pass them on to my husband … the lawyer.
Thanks Raven, do show him he could use some of them 🙂
Oh dear. I think I need Depends.

Blooming hilarious Harry. The last one and the one about doing autopsies on dead people had me in fits. 😀
I thought the last one was best 🙂
Good grief Harry, those are hilarious. No wonder our judicial system is so screwed up!!! 😯
No wonder IzaakMak no wonder 🙂
@Harry – I laughed out-loud. That was great. I really needed a great laugh. I found this hysterically funny, as one of my many (and I mean a boat load) of careers is a paralegal. I worked in a law firm. The Attorney I worked for is actually a very famous Attorney and is on television often. He was so dumb. I actually told this Attorney to kiss my ass, one day, and walked out of work. Never went back.
The Paralegals did everything. The Attorney’s only looked handsome. I was making $28 dollars per hour, but refused to work for dumb people. I could not do it. I would literally explain things over and over in meetings, then with a follow-up e-mail and follow up minutes from our meetings.
The Attorney’s would still not understand my legal research or what I was trying to explain about a particular client. I decided, I was not going to be a Paralegal at that point.
This post made me think of the dumb Attorney’s from my past. That’s why I was laughing so loud. Thanks
You think they are smart cookies watching tv 🙂
OMG! I am rolling on the floor Harry!
Glad you enjoyed it Chris.
loved it Harry
Thanks JO.
Read this over at Jamie’s place…she was right…it’s hilarious! Thanks for sharing, Harry.
Thank you glad you enjoy it, Jamie’s a big commenter which is good 🙂
