Dear Good Doctor,

I am a young lawyer just setting out to make my fortune in the world, and I simply cannot understand the antipathy that many people feel towards my profession. Why just the other day I gave the widow woman that I had to evict from her home enough money, out of my own pocket, so that she and her six kids could take the bus to the local Salvation Army shelter, instead of having to walk the five miles. And this morning, when I got Carlos "the snow king" Melendez off because the Police had no "probable cause" when they found the 195lbs. of cocaine in the trunk of his car (which COULD have been put there by anyone to frame my client), people were actually yelling obscenities at me. Don't they understand that I was just doing my job?

the doctor's reply:

No. Hey, did you hear the one about the three empty seats in a bus full of lawyers going off a cliff? No? That's too bad, because it was all about you. I also suggest that whenever you need to fly for any reason, you go by ValuJet.
