There are an alarming number of people on this board who seem to have had a sarcasm lobotomy. It's witty posts like this that keep me reading CB. And yes, it does make it funnier that it's coming from a Wall Street lawyer, whether it's true or just a literary device. The effect would be dampered just a tad if the post ended, "And now, I drive a tractor-trailer and live in La Verkin, but I filed an amicus curae brief in support of the city's attempt to create a sovereign United Nations-free republic."
