   I've been a lawyer for something like 17 years and have never come across an answer so stupid!!

   No, is that true?

   I've been told we will face dealing with clients of sub-normal educational levels, and should always pitch any questions suitably, but really?!

   And this man is not only paid exorbitant sums of money, but is also free to breed?

   Surely a one-man advocate for the introduction of Eugenics?

   God help me. Just told Mr B about this, and was met with an uncomprehending expression.

   "But he's just doing what he was asked." said he.

   I give up.

   I think this will make that classic list of legal gaffes that gets emailed round every now and again.

   Gold medal contender in my opinion ...

   It'll probably make the next edition of "100 Cases Every Law Student Should Know".

   Simply wonderful - that must soon enter the lexicon of English legalish.

   As in: Instructing Solicitor to Learned Counsel "No point in even trying to coach this one, he's a complete Terry"

   So Jeni...you ridicule this man for his stupidity and express amazement that a man of his limited cerbral gift is allowed to breed.

   Then, you ask the same question of your husband (and father of your children, unless junket's claims are to be believed) and received a similar reply.

   Woudl you like to take up the story now, as the awful realisation filtered through?

    I didn't marry Mr B for his brain.

    I believe that the gene pool of exceptionally good looking people should be prolonged.

    ah, but what if Terry is in fact a highly intelligent life form that plays chess and reads Kafka and is only playing at being dumb.
    He got off didn't he?
    His lawyer claims Terry was only repeating something he thought Ferdinand had said.
    I want that lawyer when my case comes up.

    Well thats a very kind offer Jeni, but I really don't think I want Junket's sloppy seconds, thank you.

    Id, rest assured that any liaison that Junket believes we may have had were due entirely to his obvious overindulgence in hallucinogenics. I'd be checking your Ketamine supplies too, just in case...

    I understand Jeni. You can count on my discretion.

    Of course, you and Junket would have client/patient confidentiality.
    But which was which...
