One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for April 29, 2024

For some “lawyers” it might as well be.

Some lawyers might be in that bar.

I bet a lot of lawyers visit bars. Especially the ones that don’t get paid.

By the early 14th century, the concept of the bar referred to a physical railing that separated benchers from the hall of the Inns of Court; the area past the bar held the judge, the barristers (attorneys), and the prisoners or those accused or liable. Passing the bar referred to the ability to enter that space, and the term barrister (which is what attorneys in England are called) loosely meant “a student of law who has been called to the bar” to advocate on behalf of another.

No lawyer I know ever passed the bar. They always tried to drink it dry.

The lawyer I had for my divorce must’ve passed that kind of bar because I was taken to cleaners by cheating wife.

If you have one lawyer in a small town, he is broke. If you have two lawyers in a small town, they are both rich.

Are you sure?

I’m howling. Shared this with a lawyer friend.

OMG that’s seriously funny. My face hurts. Ruthie is so amazingly funny thank you Rick.

Nor does “passing the buck” mean that everyone wants to hand you a dollar.
