Though, this only happened after she recieved a bill for $7000 dollars and was only credited $534.

While strippers can usually cost you a small fortune if you’re not careful, they don’t even hold a candle to laywers.

Sorry Bubbles.

  1. I Fought The Law - The Clash
  2. Lawyers, Guns, and Money - Warren Zevon
  3. 99 Problems - Jay-Z
  4. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
  5. We’re All Winners, as arranged by Nixon Peabody
  6. Law and Order theme song
  7. Hurricane - Bob Dylan
  8. Alice’s Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
  9. I Fought The Law - Bobby Fuller 4
  10. The Road Goes on Forever - Robert Earl Keen

These were posted on the AboveTheLaw website.

While I would say that they are pretty good choices, picking Jay-Z over anything by N.W.A. or Public Enemy is probably a mistake.

And get rid of the Law and Order song.

The right to remain silent.

Attorney Lewis B. Moon, 42, and Oklahoma County public defender David James Bedford, 32, were arrested about 1:40 a.m. at Whataburger, 7820 N MacArthur, after an employee called police and said a driver of a Cadillac Escalade was causing a disturbance and appeared intoxicated, Warr Acres Police Sgt. Alan Davidofsky said.

Witnesses told police the men nearly hit another car in the drive-through lane.

When a police officer arrived, Moon, the driver, was uncooperative and was “taken down,” Davidofsky said. He said Moon also spit in an officer’s face.

 

I’m sure the judges that they named will certainly be happy to see them.

SEATTLE — A man who says he bought moldy cookies in the King County Jail is suing the county for pain, suffering and emotional distress. Moses Wiggins, 41, said he didn’t notice the mold until he had eaten half a bag of cookies. He spent several days vomiting while suffering diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Several days of diarrhea probably saved him from any romantic encounters while serving his time.

Not to mention those cookies probably prevented headaches and tasted better than the regular prison food.

This is one of those cases that should be resolved with getting your money back and an apology.

The Fresno Bee reports:

A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed spices over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff’s deputies said Saturday.

The suspect, Antonio Vasquez, 22, of Fresno, was unknown to the victims. He was captured hiding in a nearby field minutes after the crime. His identity was confirmed by the police as he accidentally left his wallet in the victims’ home upon fleeing, according to Lt. Ian Burrimond of the Fresno Police Department.

Even with his driver’s license seized as evidence, prosecutors may have difficulty convicting Vasquez:

Burrimond said the money was recovered, but that the piece of sausage used in the attack was discarded by the suspect and eaten by a dog.

“That’s right, the dog ate the weapon,” Burrimond said.

I don’t know how much of this I believe to be an unprovoked attack as it would take some serious provocation to break into someone’s house, cover them with spices and then beat them with a sausage.

I’m putting my money on “jilted lover” or “old frat buddy”.
