A good friend of mine always used to say "Once the lawyers are involved, you lose no matter what. Only the lawyers win." (paraphrased from memory). I don't know if I agree that that is correct every single time, but it strikes me as a very useful heuristic at the least. | ||

"Of course I've got lawyers. They are like nuclear weapons, I've got em 'cause everyone else has. But as soon as you use them they screw everything up." Danny DeVito My wife is a lawyer so I collect amusing statements about them ;-) | ||
