Riposte1,

Thanks for the "PS Lawyer joke." You gave me a laugh on a day when I needed a good laugh.

P.S. We had a case about 20 years ago in my old hometown where two guys went into partnership and their company did very well after a very slow start. One partner put in 15-hour days and the other partner dated all the new hire chicks and spent 24+ hours with each in the local motel. That same partner saw the company go from 4 employees to over 200 and he was a real goof off as well as the company stud.

The 15-hour partner murdered the goof off and inheirited the whole company per their original partnership agreement. The cops grilled the 15-hour dude, dug up his yard and basement looking for the goof off's corpse and did not find it. The cops had to let 15-hour guy go free because of lack of evidence.

No, the story does not end here. The 15-hour guy had a bad case of guilty conscience and told his priest what he did. That admission was "privilaged", but the priest told the guy to confess to the cops, which he did. The cops asked where the body of "goof off" was located. The 15-hour guy said, "That was the problem after I "smoked" that worthless fellow. I drove around with his body in the car trunk until I passed a cemetary where I noticed a fresh grave. I put goof off there and you folks never knew where he was." The cops got the location of the "double grave" and then successfully prosecuted the hard working guy.

So much for you causing my reflective thinking. Be well.

Adam
