Ahem, EBW

[Mischka]

Check out my sig line. You inspired me.

 

[Weevil]

Hey, my Shakespeare's good, not great.

I like the line though

 

[Mischka]

Ay, but I thought I'd put it back into context.

 

[Weevil]

Ay, but I thought I'd put it back into context.

Context, Shmontext

Did you do that from memory?

[Mischka]

No, I had to look it up. But I did type it out. And since you've so prominently displayed this oft-quoted (though misunderstood) line in your sig line, I thought I'd add a bit to it and put it in my sig line.

 

[Weevil]

One minute you want to wed me and have my socialist love children, the next minute you're ready to slit my throat.

Ahhhh love's an odd thing, ain't it?

 

[Weevil]

No, I had to look it up. But I did type it out.

All the same, You can't claim Shakespearian superiority

 

[Mischka]

OK, I'll match Shakespearian wits with you, EvilBollWeevil. First question - what is the meaning of the quote in your sig line?

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Is this a trick question? I thought it was just advocating lawyer-cide.

Am I missing something?

 

[Mischka]

Shakespeare believed that lawyers (and the educated in general) were necessary to maintain order. Without them, mob mentality would overcome civil society. Hence he used a typical mobbish character to advocate the killing of lawyers as the first step towards ruining society. In the next scene the same group hangs a clerk of court because he was literate.

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

You mean he wasn't for lawyercide?

Now I've lost respect for the man.

Just some friendly doctor vs. lawyer ribbing. Put down the malpractice subpoena. hehe

[Mischka]

Now I'm going to have to dig up some doctor jokes.

Don't bother. I just looked, and they're not nearly as funny as lawyer jokes.

What do you call 2 orthopedic doctors reading an EKG?

A double blind study


* * *

Patient: Doctor, Doctor, I broke my arm in two places!

Doctor: Stay out of them places!

* * *

A 92 year old man went to the doctor for a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw the man walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.

The doctor said, "What do think you're doing?" "

Just what you said, Doc," the man answered. "Get a hot mamma and be cheerful."

"No," the doctor told him. "I said you've got a heart murmur. Be careful."

Q: What is the difference between God and an orthopedic surgeon?

A: God doesn't think he is an orthopedic surgeon.

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Oh yeah?!?

don't make me break out my collection of porn-webmistress jokes, Laurel.

 

[Laurel]

LOL! I'll bet the jokes aren't as funny as the reality...

 

[Weevil]

Q:What do you call a Bass Player without a Girlfriend?
