I march closer to the unemployment line. My soon to be former company gave me a stack of papers to read and sign. A little like divorce papers. I wouldn't mind just signing them and handing them back except for the fact that they keep giving me constant warnings to go ahead and have my attorney review them if I like. "Now if you want your attorney to look these overs that's fine. In fact I advise you to do that". Well first off I'm just a little guy who doesn't have an attorney. I haven't needed an attorney in twenty years. To find a lawyer to just look over a bunch of papers is pretty hard. Most don't want to talk to me unless I fell off the building here at work or better yet if an ambulance ran me over. Second, I'm not a big fan of attorneys.
In fact that reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. i present it here for your reading pleasure.
Three men are driving together on a barren country road. One is a Jewish Rabbi, the other a guru from India and the third a lawyer. It's late at night and of course the car breaks down. They notice about a mile away in the middle of a field is a farmhouse. They decide to go there and ask for help. They knock on the door, the farmer answers and they explain about their car. The farmer tells them that there is a mechanic in town but that he would be closed this late at night. He tells them "if you like I can let you guys sleep here tonight then in the morning I'll drive you into town. The only problem is that I only have room for two of you. One of you will have to sleep in the barn." They thank him then try to decide who will sleep in the barn. Finally the Guru says "Since I am use to poverty I will sleep in the barn." So off he goes. In a few minutes there is a knock at the door. They open it and find the guru standing there. "I'm sorry but there is a cow in the barn. Cows are very sacred in my culture and I cannot sleep with a scared animal." The Rabbi says "fine I'll sleep in the barn." In a few minutes sure enough there is a knock at the door and it's the Rabbi. "Sorry but there's a pig in the barn. Pigs are not kosher and I cannot sleep with an animal that is not kosher." The lawyer says "alright,alright I'll sleep in the barn" and storms off. Just like before in a few minutes there's a knock at the door. They open it and it's the cow and the pig.
Man I hate my life right now.
