The ailanthus tree is not native to Brooklyn. They were imported from China (where else?) to set up silkworm colonies here. The idea was to develop a local source of silk for the mills in Patterson, NJ.
Well, needless to say, the ailanthus has flourished here, becoming the pesty “weed tree” that can sprout from any crack in a sidewalk.
Dang, Slopey! I was hoping to get in a few free credits! It’s registration year for me again…Come the end of August, they’ll be hounding me about $350 and CLE!!!
Thanks rf, I’ll check. Spam folder doesn’t show up on my blackberry.
Well, at least I didn’t marry a lawyer. As for Mrs. Slopey, well . . .
So, if a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client, what does a lawyer who represents his spouse have? Alimony in his future?

1. Don’t marry a lawyer 😉
2. If you ignore rule #1, don’t take the lawyer spouse’s legal advice!
Ha!
