So ... for example ... when I see the Golden Arches and the word "McDonalds" on the sign ... I don't have to independently research the restaurant to figure out...

    Are most corporate lawyers dicks?

    PEOPLE

    Are most corporate lawyers dicks?

    PEOPLE

    Are most corporate lawyers dicks?

    PEOPLE 
    Not at all. That's a bunch of "made for TV" nonsense. The best lawyers I know ... myself included ... are exceptionally polite and civil in court. There is no reason to be an "mean-spirited a**hole" in court ... unless ... that is ... you want to alienate the judge and the jury. The moment...

    Oh ... and for the record ... TheAg ... bought the ex-husband's domain name in turn (TotalJerk.com) ... and is still deciding what to do with it. Payback may well be a bitch. But that doesn't do TheAg much good in the short term ... TheAg.com is still up on top of Google ... when you type in...

    Is it illegal for a child to work for a commission?

    Oh ... one thing I forgot to mention ... Pimping ain't easy. And neither is flipping tricks on a commission. Now normally ... I bitch slap my hos if they show up without my money. Not sure what the rules are with kids ... maybe it's okay if you "just" use the back of your hand ... not sure...
