Stuff you’ll be needing: Dinner roll sized Potato Rolls Sandwich stacker style sliced pickles Ketchup Lettuce Piccalilli Relish Egg Salad (however you like it) Cookies and/or Pastries Tea (no sh…) It’s amazing how pansyassed teatime can be.

Read MoreA Modest Sized, Out of Control Ramble on Lawyers
A few months ago whilst on the NYC subway (where all the good things in life manifest themselves), I came upon ads for one of them there accidental law firms… you know the ones that leech off of society in the name of justice. And without a doubt, these ads prove that all, and I…
