The first, an April 15th classic;

The second, a question. Say a kid gets killed and a settlement is reached
in a wrongful death lawsuit, who gets more money, the father of the kid
or the lawyers ?




My view is that the family gets ALL the money, then they pay the
lawyers for their services. If you view the lawyers as taking 'some of
the settlement', you might as well begrudge anyone who gets paid at
any time from that money: the barber, mechanic, the mortgage holder...

The barber, the mechanic, the mortgage holder etc. all have a price
and you know what it is going in the door.
The lawyer is the one that says " how much have you got? "
