Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 13, 2019

Just upholding the law.

At least they are looking outwards instead of staring at his legs.

I can see the resume, table leg at Rich and Rich law firm, 4 years.

“I had so much resting on me, the pressure was sometime crushing. You can say I was one of the cornerstone, a pillar to the firm”.

They’re just hoping the secretary doesn’t come in for any, um, misconduct.

Actually, that is a picture of the Firm founder and recent associates. The new hires are out in the hall working on billable hours.

It builds character, they said, we are the pillars of the firm, they said It’s BULLCRAP! I’m outta here!

Starting at Dewey, Cheatham and Howe.

“It’s paralegals all the way down.”

This reminds me of the old show about the guy in the circus who’s job is cleaning up elephant poop. He complains to a friend about how awful it is. The friend says, “Well, why don’t you quit?” He says, “What? And give up show business?”

“The First thing we do is Kill all the Lawyers…”

I am glad that most job postings I see have the phrase, “or equivalent industry experience” after listing the mandatory degree. Personally, I prefer experience over education.

They look like baseball catchers in suits.

It’s the kind if position you assume.

“I polished up the brass so carefully…”

My son asked me if he should become a lawyer. I suggested he become a pimp instead because his colleagues would have higher ethical standards and he’d make a more positive contribution to society.

You can put down that you were part of the foundation for the firm…

Getting a leg up.

And yet, it is a step up from the guy who has to hold up the john.

(wonders about the reason for the dialogue in the cartoon)

Oh my aching back!

Wait for your next interview to ask what your accomplishments were.

or photoshop your face on Time magazine….the law is what you make it

Why does everybody make fun of lawyers?
