Law is a profession where the lawyers eat the oysters and leave the clients the shells.
I was at the courthouse several years ago, and overheard a great quote I've paraphrased many times. An attorney and his client were coming out of the courthouse, with the attorney trying to talk to the client. They get to the bottom of the steps, and the client turns to the attorney and said
"What the @#^^$ are you talking about??? You would break into my house in the dead of night, kill us all in our sleep, and sell our internal organs on the black market if you thought there was one nickel more to be made than milking this case as long as possible!"
The only winners in a legal action are the lawyers.

I called my attorney friend that I play tennis with an ambulance chaser, and he took it as a complement.
