Was this really necessary?
I see that we've relocated. Alright.
A recent observation by Ms. Lovely Latina seemed to indicate a dislike for attorneys.
Mr. Blue,
First and foremost, I personally harbor no animosity WHATSOEVER toward the profession of law. It is my belief that when practiced ethically, it can most certainly be a noble profession, and even one that I seriously considered pursuing at one point. I have two close friends and a cousin who are lawyers and I have nothing but the utmost respect for them and what they do.
Your statement left a rather foul taste in my mouth and my quip was intended as an observation as to the irony of your inane comment matched with the fact that your chosen area of specialization is divorce law. Don't you find that even the least bit humorous in its irony? For I find that any man who would make such a statement and have that attitude...well...will most likely be needing your services sooner or later.
As you can see from a couple of the responses that followed my own, I was not the only one who perceived your comment as ludicrous and demeaning. I'm just surprised that someone like Never or Patryn (or any of us other "bitches" from the board) didn't call you on it first.
Quote: Don't kid yourself, CM....No way are you more annoying than this Shila. You can be a bitch at times but that doesn't make you annoying. It only makes you a woman. Shila just needs to mature, a bit.
You say that you were merely being "playful"? Claim that as you wish, but your whole post had a most serious tone to it, from what I can tell, right down to your suggestion of Shila's need for increased maturity. True, written text can be quite unforgiving in its ability to relay tone, emotion, sarcasm or "playfulness." We can't deny that. But re-reading your above statement yet again, I still fail to see the fact that you were making a playful joke. Perhaps a
or a 
may have helped to communicate that fact more efficiently if it were truly in jest, as you so claim. Or even a "LOL" (for the smiley-impaired) would have implied that it was indeed a joke. This is something that many of us have learned here.
You asked for an explanation. I gave you one. I do not wish to explain my retort any further, and as I still perceive your statement in the same sense as I did originally, I do not retract my comment. Must be the bitch in me.
Oh...yeah....my favorite lawyer joke?
What is the difference between God and a lawyer?
God doesn't think he's a lawyer.

You Know You Need A New Lawyer When ...
1. During your initial consultation he tries to sell you Amway.
2. When the prosecutors see your lawyer, they high-five each other.
3. During the trial you catch him playing his Gameboy.
4. He places a large "No Refunds" sign on the defense table.
5. Just before trial starts he whispers, "The judge is the one with the little hammer, right?"
6. The sign in front of his law office reads "Practicing Law Since 2:25 PM."
7. Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever."

This ones's for you Blue!
So, this dude walks into a Mail-Boxes-Express one day and sees a middle-aged, bald fellow at the counter busily placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them.
He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts misting the
batch of letters....
Amazed, the dude goes up to the busy fellow and asks him what in the world he's doing.
"Oh, I'm sending out 1,001 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" asks the man.
"I'm a divorce lawyer!"
_______________
Try not to get uptight, dear ... relax and have some fun!
