THE SCALES OF JUSTICE

• In 2003 televangelist Jim Bakker paid a $3.7 million settlement for
defrauding his followers. Lawyers got $2.5 million of it—and each victim
got $6.54.

• In a 2003 settlement between Sears and customers with improperly done
wheel balancing, lawyers got $2.45 million—and customers got $2.50 per
tire.

• When a bank settled a lawsuit over improper interest charges, the
lawyers got $8.5 million. Each bank customer got less that $10...and then
had to pay the bank $91 to reimburse its court fees.

LOL,

It's like being at a Bob Hope tribute show...

In about 300,000 years they'd make a good oil deposit.

And let's face it, they'd be off to a flying start seeing how lawyers are oily bastards anyway...

"A .44 magnum beats 4 Aces everytime..."

MOre like "Slick 50"!

So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it.
