When smart is not quite smart enough...

[xpansive]

So this smarmy looking silver spoon given everything in life young lawyer comes into work and says to me "whats it like working here?". "You know, ive never had the unfortunacy of working in the fast food industry before."

Astounded, I replied "what i do specialises in human happiness (for 99.5% of the time anyway) whereas what you do specialises in human misery and i know what side of the ledger id rather be on".

1st time ive seen a lawyer speechless

Could go on with further conversation with this character but will refrain as need to maintain own sanity...

Thanks for listening and lets hear the stories that leave you thinking WTF??

Lol. Did that roll of the tip of your tongue Xpansive or did you have it ready for an appropriate moment? Was it a regular customer or first timer? Love that you made him speechless.

I can tell the story of the only time I was speechless (no peanut gallery comments) I was called by a disgruntled woman who we had sued and probably garnished. She didn't like my answers on the phone and asked to speak to my boss. I said "He's unavailable." (he was the VP and actually was unavailable.)

She says "Why? Because he's too busy eating your pussy?" I was stunned into silence. I usually am pretty quick witted but that actually completely threw me. "Because he's too busy eating your pussy?" bwahaha. I don't remember what direction the conversation took after that but I always remember that story. Now that I think about it, I probably had some standard lame response about her kissing her mother with that mouth.

The things people sometimes say huh?? It astounds me as to what goes through people's minds at times (myself included)...

Sounds like your client had been watching too much network law drama on TV and came across as the 'it must be true because I saw it on TV' mentality.

Apologees but didn't mean to generalise ALL lawyers as described in initial post. Just the one's that cant see past their own massively inflated sense of ego and self worth...

Nah, that rolled off the tip of the tongue. Although I admit I could've been a little less coarse about it. Guy loves our product yet is trying to mock that of which he does not understand.

Guy further proved the theory that intelligent smarts does not equate to perceptual smarts in anyway and that's one of the main problems with people that specialise. Too busy training to be so specific in one aspect in life that the other areas are left neglected and it shows in their all round personality and character traits...

At least that's my .02

GL pal and yay that we hit our pledge of $25k earlier today with 23 hours to go...

Frozen custard here we come...

Not worth starting a thread...but this goes in the What the hell are you thinking category. The cleaning gal/aide that stays with mom just told me that her sister told her to tell me that they want to crash my vacation (my words not hers) They will pitch in for the room so they can come out and hear the music on Saturday and gamble. I just looked at her. WHO DOES THAT?

There is no way in hell that is going to happen.
