Clint Eastwood

I was going to say dealing with stupid opposing counsel is like trying to teach a dog algebra, but with a dog, you expect it to look at you quizically, pant, and then proceed to lick its balls or its ass. You don't really expect that with opposing counsel though.

Anyway, I spent a thirty frickin' minutes explaining to opposing counsel how the treatise says we can do something, the law doesn't prevent us from doing something, so going to court to tell the judge tomorrow that we can't do it is stupid. And I got him to admit that he doesn't like what we're doing because it makes him do more work. Yet, he's still going to court tomorrow morning.

Yeah, it is nice to know that there are folks who are dumber than a bucket of mice out there. At the same time, it sucks to know that they are wasting thirty minutes that you will never ever get back in your life.

Of course they would never understand the concept of wasted time... because they weren't doing anything productive with their time anyhow!
it kind of reminds me of when i said to my director of communications, " Emily, i am going to my office to pretend that i am important in some insignificant way" ( i dont think she got it...)
