"I'm Not That Kind of Lawyer"
Hellertown funeral director David Heintzelman, who also is running for Mayor, came in nattily attired with a bowtie and well-tailored suit. Following behind him was Allentown Attorney Graham Simmons, who represents the Board.
"Were you in the same traffic Mr. Heintzelman was?" a Board member asked Simmons.
"He [Heintzelman] picked up business. How about you?" wisecracked Finnigan.
"I'm not that kind of lawyer," replied Simmons.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Was it "a shot"? Or does someone have a thin skin? It was a joke, even though it was a tired old joke.
ReplyDeleteOf courseit was a joke and that is why I published it. Geez.
ReplyDeleteFinnegan has always been a smart ass at others expense. O'Hare thinks he is funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's Finnigan, and I appreciate his sharp humor.
