lawrocket 3 #3 March 15, 2006 More of a "Jack off" all trades. But, I've been committed to this lawyer thing for the last 7 or 8 years - much longer than any other committed relationship I've ever been in. Just this weekend I discussed with my wife what to do next. She wants to teach and thinks I'd make a good judge (I'd like the benefits of that - unbridled power! HA HA HA!!!) My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
