Episode One: The Lawyer Menace

After receiving my upteenmillionth version of the Microsoft and AOL Merger email, I sent out a bulk mail to all of the folks listed as sending it. I received the following reply:

From: "Moomaw, James" MOOMAWJ@HughesLuce.com
To: "'Jason Creager'" jason@creager.com
Subject: RE: Microsoft and AOL Merger

Are you familiar with the terms "prank", "fun" or "taking yourself and your self-proclaimed policeman status way to seriously"? Thanks for your brilliant insights.

My reply:

Yup, sure am! Thanks for your concern.

I might ask if you knew what it was like to make yourself look like a fool, but I already know the answer. By the way, they put dioxin and asbestos in tampons, there is a terribly destructive virus called "Wobbler", and a boy dying of cancer....

Sorry, didn't see the reference to "Ham Radio"; now I understand.

In summation, your honor...

My first question is where is "Seriously"? I'm supposed to take myself there, but I can't find it through Yahoo maps. Perhaps it was just a typo, but why would a practicing real estate lawyer make such a foolish mistake. Obviously, a good lawyer has to present himself perfectly in every aspect. I mean, come on, it's not like Jimbo is just a peon...he's a partner !

This whole exchange is yet another reason why I feel there should be an Internet Drivers License. C'mon! If you're going to waste the net's precious bandwidth, at least do something remotely technically possible. At the very least, be amusing, not flat out stupid.

I find it particularly humorous that a real estate lawyer made fun of me for being an amateur radio operator. Ham operators came through spectacularly once again during the tornado disasters in Oklahoma. When the National Weather Service could not be reached via telephone, Skywarn operators provided valuable, life saving information. There would be hundreds more deaths per year if not for amateur operators. They do this every year in every weather condition as a service to communities all over the country.

I sure hope that his address is not ever hit by a tornado. Then, he would owe his life to a ham.

To contrast, real estate lawyers help force old ladies out of their homes so corporate entities can continue to crush their smaller competitors. Well, maybe I'm generalizing. I'm sure that megastore Dillards is quite happy with Jimbo as their lawyer. He is an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers, after all, and I'm sure they promote only fair competition with Mom and Pop stores which have been owned by the same family for generations.

BTW, I wrote the "knew what it was like to make yourself look like a fool" line before I bothered to find out that he was a lawyer. Nostradamus would be proud....or maybe he already was.

This is the kind of person who gives lawyers a bad name. Granted, their profession has more than its share of bad apples, but just wait until you're injured in a car accident, you have over $10,450 worth of medical bills, and the insurance adjuster says "Shelter Insurance feels that $5,000 is a generous offer because if it went to court, you probably would not get that." Funny, it seems that HE already knew how a jury would vote, while our lawyer said "You just never can tell what those eight people will do."

One of the idiots responsible for the slowness of the internet or fine, responsible, highly intelligent lawyer? You decide.

Idiot #2! C'mon down!

Speaking of which, Fred West, Claims Adjuster for Shelter Insurance in Springfield, Missouri, is a lying, conniving bastard. His mother should have eaten him at birth. His office was covered awards from which he earned for saving Shelter Insurance's money. I'm sure that a few cases actually involved people attempting fraud. I'm also sure that he royally screwed some honest folks, but then again, it is partially their fault because they either did not have a good lawyer or didn't have one at all. Oh well, at least Fred will go straight to Hell when he dies. Of course, he could be a "good, church going, Christian man", but from the crap he tried to pull on us, he knows very little about being a true Christian. If he attends church, he is one of the hypocrites which are the reasons we do not.

"I make plenty as a student nurse at a large hospital here."

(This is from Basset-L. I won't mention any of the other messages where she earned inclusion on the page. That statement sums it up perfectly.)
Yup, Amanda Norris of RIVERSRUN1@AOL.COM ! Everyone knows how being a student is one of the most lucrative career choices out there, let alone in nursing! That must explain all of the Cadillacs, Lincolns, and BMWs in Staff Parking at hospitals from coast to coast. I suppose the next inclusion on this page ought to be all of the doctors in America, since they passed up the opportunity to be a nursing student and earn the big buck$!
