Don't be silly, finelinebob. You can make jokes about lawyers.
My concern was with discouraging James K, if he does have any desire even to think about thinking that he might want to do something like that.
So-- there are three people in a lifeboat, surrounded by sharks. Two regular people and a lawyer. The lifeboat can only hold two people. They're thinking of drawing straws as to who should go. But the lawyer leaps off.
The two regular people are overwhelmed with gratitude for the lawyer's sacrifice. But to their amazement, they see the sharks suddenly swim off en masse.
They ask the lawyer, how did that happen!!??? The lawyer responds, oh that was just professional courtesy.
(Okay, that makes lawyers look good, kinda, but it is a joke.)
