Message: [QUOTE="RegisteredUconn, post: 4219447, member: 1477"] Unlike some, I appreciate referees and lawyers (I'm neither). For some reason, though, I thought you might enjoy this. A CEO travels to a distant and unfamiliar port on business. One afternoon when meetings adjourned unexpectedly early, the exec decides to get some fresh air and takes a stroll toward the city docks. Several blocks from the hotel is a dusty, musty establishment selling antiques. Curious, the CEO wanders in. The superannuated proprietor permits the visitor several minutes of undisturbed browsing before approaching and initiating the following conversation. Owner: Afternoon, see anything you like? CEO: I was looking at that brass rat over there. How much is it? Owner: Are you interested in just the rat, or do you want the rat and the story? CEO: What's the difference? Owner: Just the rat is $50 but the rat and the story is $1050. CEO: Just the rat will be fine. Outside, newly purchased metallic rodent cradled in elbow crook like a running back, the CEO continues to stroll. It was exactly two paces when the most peculiar sensation passed through the CEO resulting in a bumper crop of goose bumps. Every bodily hair stood at attention. As if in a trance, the CEO turned around. A real rat was following. The perambulation continued as did the odd feeling. The CEO took a second peek. Two rats. The CEO increased the pace before glancing back again. Four rats. Another increase in speed. Eight rats. Faster and faster went the CEO. More and more rats followed until the business leader was sprinting across a dock with every rat in the city in pursuit. At the last moment, just before tumbling into the sea, the CEO jumped up, wrapped one arm around a light stanchion and flung the rat as far as possible into the harbor. All the rats jumped off the pier, swam out the where the brass icon had disappeared, and swam around and around until all had drowned. Weary and bewildered, the CEO climbed down the light post and trudged back up the hill to the antiques shop where the proprietor was just closing up for the day. Seeing the customer return, the owner unlocked the door and reinitiated the conversation. Owner: I see you've come back for the story. CEO: Actually, I was wondering if you had any brass lawyers.
