He died saving two children AND he rid the world of a lawyer? Double hero IMHO.

What do you call one lawyer at the bottom of a river?

:(

 
GungFu 2009-05-02 03:37:25 PM  
A lawyer?

FTFA: 'according to Helen Smith, Schulze's companion of 20 years.'

I guess he was. Can she still get his pennies?


/I wrote his pennies!

What's the difference between a lawyer and a carp?

One is a scum sucking bottom dweller; the other is a fish

And a personal injury lawyer to boot? He must have been saving them so that he could file a lawsuit on their behalf against the ocean.

 
Helen_Arigby 2009-05-02 03:59:54 PM  
I was feeling all "Awwww, he was a good person even though he was a lawyer!" Then I started reading the thread and... *snrrrk* Won in the boobies!

I'm sure he's waiting for us at the bar in Hell for all of the snark in this thread ...

Or it's actually just possible that right-wing stereotypes about the plaintiff's bar are fabricated and promoted by big corporations. You know, to damage their credibility when they come seeking to vindicate the rights of the downtrodden against the powerful in court.

Just possible.

Some lawyers are heroes... go to any family court.

Having dealt with family court, I'm wondering what alternate reality you came from.

Yea, everyone bad mouths lawyers until you need one. Just like your congressman - they all suck, except yours..

Agreed! And I generally like lawyers. Well, criminal ones, academics, etc.

Here lies the water; good: here stands the man; good: if the man go to this water and drown himself, it is, will he, nill he, he goes,-mark you that: but if the water come to him and drown him, he drowns not himself; argal, he that is not guilty of his own death shortens not his own life.

/Where be his quiddits now, his quillets, his cases, his tenures, and his tricks?

//got nothin'

 
Cerebral Ballsy [TotalFark] 2009-05-02 07:27:20 PM  
I just came to say that if he hadn't been a lawyer, God would've let him live. But the "double hero" post was funnier.

 
Delay 2009-05-02 07:43:20 PM  
A good start.

Lottie, if it were a family law attorney that died, there would have been a parade to honor the kids.

This is one of the clearest instances of 'one and done' that I have seen on FARK ever.
