Alienation of affection

Thank God for lawyers. No matter how bad things are in your life or your profession, you can always look down on ’em.

Like the Florida lawyer who was disbarred this week for allowing a client to work off her $2,300 fee with some extracurricular activity.


Yes, the kind of extracurricular activity that occurs at massage parlors that don’t offer massages. Yes, I am talking about the mother of all four-letter words, sex.

This particular barrister charged the little lady $200 for every, uh, private session. And $400 for when she arranged an, ahem, joint consultation with another gal.

Inquiring minds want to know:

Does this equal his hourly rate -- or hers? When they were doing the nasty, did he make bad jokes about “legal briefs”? Do they teach this kind of creative billing in law school, or did he come up with it on his own? Does his business card read, “License to Thrill”?

And finally, what does a disgraced lawyer without a shred of integrity do for his next career?

The answer (drum roll, please) is, of course … POLITICS!

If only they were allowed to marry.

So the girls are doing to the lawyer what the lawyer was doing to them.

It's all the public-school teachers' fault.
