True North

A melange of liberal politics, feminism, Celtic Pagan spirituality, Packer football, and life after law school.

Name: armagh444

Who is Armagh? Well, that would be me and this is my little corner of the blogosphere, such as it is. My own little exercise in ego, founded on the notion that my writings are fascinating enough to mandate that they be shared with the world. But that is the whole foundation of the blogosphere, so it is appropriate. For whatever it's worth, I am a proud liberal Democrat, a feminist, a criminal defense attorney, an Irish-American, a Celtic Pagan, and a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan. Nothing offered here is to be construed as legal advice, the practice of law, or as establishing a lawyer-client relationship between myself and anyone who may read this blog.

Another for my collection . . .

Like most attorneys with a pulse, I have a real weakness for lawyer jokes.

Here's this week's . . . brought to you by the letter N, the letter R, and the number 2.

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of
ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the
job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not
hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10
million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he
embezzled from me is." The attorney, using sign language, asks the
bookkeeper where the money is. The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're
talking about." The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple
and says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase,
buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"

The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the guts to
pull the trigger."
