Quote of the Day
Lawyer humor is like pizza rolls: even when it’s good, it’s still pretty bad.
So take this quote, which I currently find hilarious, with a grain of salt.
It came at the end of an extended email dialogue about getting some additional signature pages for a document, which had to be on safety paper (you know, the nice green patterned paper like they use for printing checks). Instead of scrapping the pages we executed yesterday and starting over, we could just execute additional copies.
After we had finally confirmed that we didn’t need to waste paper and time redoing all the pages, the counsel for the company emailed the whole group and said:
Always happy to save a tree, even if it’s an odd-looking safety-paper tree.
See, I told you it wouldn’t be that funny. But I think it’s hilarious.
(Credit for the opening quote goes to Michael Rosenberg, comparing MSU and U-M basketball: “Michigan State is like pizza: even when it’s bad, it’s pretty good. The Wolverines are like pizza rolls: even when they are good, they are pretty bad.”)
