law humor

For the legal types on my flist, an excerpt of a letter I just got from one of my attorneys to my client's attorney:

"Thank you for your June 28, 2007 correspondence.  Unfortunately, that correspondence does not provide any information concerning the alleged changes to the specifications [which the suit is about in the first place] of the project which either are contemplated or otherwise under consideration.

Please advise concerning these matters."

They just charged me a zillion dollars an hour to send a letter that pretty much amounted to "WHUT???"

I am totally in the wrong profession. 

attn: beer pong enthusiasts

Via Jezebel:

The housing market may be going to hell and the stock market is on shaky ground, but the Wall Street Journal has found pocket enjoying economic growth: the beer pong industry. Explains beer pong entrepreneur Adam Wasserman: "When you move into a new place, you need the basics: a TV, fridge and a beer-pong table."

Our immediate reaction: Oh brother. At which point we realized our own brother still owns a beer pong table somewhere. (It is, after all, a game of skill, as Duncan Caroll, beer pong's answer to Anna Wintour, points out: "If they just wanted to get drunk, they would chug beers from the corner store.") Anyway, uh, better beer pong than "gray" rape?
