Musing on a skull in his hand in a graveyard, Hamlet says, “There’s another: why may not that be the skull of a lawyer? Where be his quiddits now, his quillets, his cases, his tenures, and his tricks? why does he suffer this rude knave now to knock him about the sconce with a dirty shovel, and will not tell him of his action of battery? Hum! This fellow might be in’s time a great buyer of land, with his statutes, his recognizances, his fines, his double vouchers, his recoveries: is this the fine of his fines, and the recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt? will his vouchers vouch him no more of his purchases, and double ones too, than the length and breadth of a pair of indentures? The very conveyances of his lands will hardly lie in this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more, ha?”<br /><br />And then there is this disappointing news: A human skull will no longer appear in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet as it may distract the audience, the company has said: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7762012.stm.<br /><br />No doubt a lawyer lies coiled behind this stupidity.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-18007103672868984412010-02-19T16:36:30.547-05:002010-02-19T16:36:30.547-05:00I recently was in California and there was a notic...I recently was in California and there was a notice at the front desk of the Comfort Inn stating that the hotel had materials known to the state of california to cause.....<br /><br />Yep, the required protection against drive by lawsuits for failure to comply. Notice that no action is required except to post the notice, no specifics on hazards, no book of MSDS sheets, nothing at all.<br /><br />The trial lawyer racket is in for the long run.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206650643306740510noreply@blogger.com
