The Continuing Adventures of The Scottish Geisha
Chapter 96, Installment 542: The Little Princess Holds Court
All New Installment! May 25th 2004
The Scottish Geisha was fretting over The Little Princess,
her daughter, aka, TLP.
"She is studying to be a lawyer," The Scottish Geisha declared
out of the blue. "I can only hope she goes into one of the more interesting
field of law."
More Interesting?
The Scottish Geisha nodded wearily. "On the one hand, criminal law
all but guarantees full time work, there is no such thing as a shortage
of criminals," The Scottish Geisha explained. "On the other
hand, look what the media did to that poor Marsha Clark. And then there
is sports law, contract law, corporate law..." her voice trailed
off as she considered the enormity of TLP's choices.
We didn't know how to comment except to say that we pitied any judge TLP
got in front of, knowing her tenacity was legendary.
"What is it you are trying to say?" The Scottish Geisha asked
in guarded tones. We replied that we only meant that TLP was well known
for her ability to wear down her opponents. A judge confronted with that
kind of never give up tenacity might react, well, badly.
The Scottish Geisha was becoming more than annoyed. "Don't be such
oafs if you can help it," she snapped. "TLP is just..spirited.
And a great debater."
We had actually had a few conversations with TLP, mostly about hockey
and current events. We knew she was the one who chose the Todd Bertuzzi
hockey debacle for her mocked up courtroom project and, against all odds,
won. Or, got an A plus, as the case may be.
"She certainly does know how to persuade," The Scottish Geisha
said adding, "I don't know where she gets it from, this doggedness
of hers."
As always with The Scottish Geisha, we wisely decided that discretion,
or in this case, not responding, was the best strategy. After all, we
knew it was a case we couldn't possibly win.
