From “The 12 days of Business” –

On the Fifth day of business a client gave to me,
five stolen credit cards,
four stupid complaints,
three returned items,
two bounced checks,
and a dollar that I hung up on the wall.

From “Goldstein and the Three Lawyers”

As far as you’re concerned, the following story is unfeigned but the names and facts have been changed so they in no way resemble any individual you know. However, if any of the characters in this story appear to be someone you know, they probably are. The coincidence will be too great to ignore and you will have to act upon it without delay in an suitable manner.

The primary thing young Goldstein noticed was the three diplomas hanging on the wall. All the major universities were represented. The Evelyn Wood School of Law (you get your degree in half the time), The Congressional School of Ethical Law, and the Emanuel Kant School of Legal Awareness. After staring in awe of the diplomas for a while, Goldstein noticed that they all seemed to be a little crooked (…..think regarding it…..). Being the spunky young lad that he was, he decisive to straighten them out a bit (something we would all like to see happen).
