Someone spread a rumor that I had graduated from Harvard Law School with top honors. They were eager to hear some of my Dodo ideas on who to sue. Even though I knew nothing about the law I was more than willing to share my inexperienced expertise with them. Who was I to Dodo deny anyone in need of some birdbrain advice?
My first suggestion was to sue everyone with the name “Sue.” That's right—sue all the Sue's for having the name Sue. It made perfect ninny nonsense to Lawless Lawyers to have me, Dum Dum, give them my dumb-dumb lawsuit schemes.
I did the same with Bob, Frank, Lance, and so on. Why, I had more clients than I could handle. There were millions of people with the same name suing each other for using their name without written permission. All I was trying to do was to have only one Bob, one Sue, one Joe—one of each name.
I couldn't understand why people were such copycats. Why shouldn't each person have a different name? Why couldn't everyone think up ones of their own? There were plenty of “make up a name, but never the same” names to go around. Well, that's why my idea caught on like Dodo wild fire. Everybody was suing everybody else. That's what being a lawyer was all about anyway. Or was it? |
