We'll See You In Court...

A very enjoyable little Gem of a book. This little fellow is only 4 X 6 inches but it is packed with one-liners,wisdom and humora and it would be the perfect novelty gift for your lawyer friend.There are pleanty of Lawyer jokes that are pretty cruel;but this book is classier and would be enjoyed by most Lawyers.But it is not exclusively about law, and would be enjoyed by anyone with a sense of humor. Now, everyone has heard about Murphy's and Parkinson's Laws;but this book has over 500 laws, rules, axioms, observations, tenets, comments, corollarys, principles, postulates, razors, dictums, etc. Let me just wet your appetite: The Office Maxim:The phone never rings when you have nothing to do. Bloom,s Law: The Judge's jokes are always funny. Jones' Law:The man who can smile when something goes wrong has found someone to blame it on. The Abilene Paradox: People in groups tend to agree on courses of action which,as individuals,they know are stupid. Newman's Rule: Crime does not pay...as well as politics. De Beaumarchais' Motto: It is not necessary to understand things to argue about them. Weber's Maxim:A single fact can spoil a good argument. Rooney's Rule: Nothing in fine print is ever good news. Mr.Mendelsom's Law: Ten percent of your clients give you ninety percent of your grief. And one last one: Mae West's Observation: To err is human,but it feels divine.
