I was holed up in my apartment, in the middle of my latest nervous breakdown, when I got a letter in the mail saying I had eighty-seven unpaid parking tickets. Eighty-seven unpaid parking tickets? That's pretty remarkable considering I don't even own a car. The letter said I could go to jail if I didn't take care of them. There's nothing quite like the prospect of the police kicking in your door to help you snap out of a deep depression. So I found myself sitting in a courtroom. Might as well; I didn't have anything else to do that day. It was just as good a place to sit as any, I thought; but after listening to these jackaloneys going on and on for about an hour I couldn't help but think: You gotta be out of your fucking mind to listen to this shit all day . I don't get it? Why would anyone ever want to be a lawyer? I guess if someone were going into politics, maybe then, but most lawyers are just in it for the money. For the money? It's the same thing with doctors. When doctors aren't in surgery, or on the golf course, they're usually watching the stock market.
