Overheard in the hallways of the King County Superior
Court:
Plaintiff Counsel: I don’t think you heard me, but my
last demand is $250,000 or we will try this case.
Defense Counsel: Okay.
Plaintiff Counsel: No seriously, the jury is walking in and
I am going to kick your ass.
Defense Counsel: Okay.
Plaintiff Counsel: No really, the jury is coming in and I am
really serious about trying this case.
Defense Counsel: Okay.
Plaintiff Counsel: You must be stupid. The jury is walking
in and my bottom line dollar is $100,000 or we will try this case.
Defense Counsel: Okay.
Plaintiff Counsel: I am really, really, really serious about
this case. How about $5,000 or else we will try the case.
Defense Counsel: Okay.
Plaintiff Counsel: Now we are getting somewhere. I accept
the $5,000.
Defense Counsel: No, I meant okay to trying the case.
Plaintiff Counsel: I don’t think you understand how serious
we are about this case. The jury is here and I am going to kick not only your
ass, but every ass in your law firm. Give me your spare pocket change,
and we get your 7th round draft pick in next year’s draft of new
lawyers.
Defense Counsel: Nope.
Plaintiff Counsel: Fine, we are dismissing your client and I
am really serious about kicking your ass in the next case.
