I think all lawyers should form the first wave of any hopeless military assault.

Then there was the time several years ago when I was running the LAN for Australian Securities Commission (as it was then) we used to put up a funny for the day because the network side took about a minute to come up. Everyone would read the funny whilst they waited. This part went out to all the network, Australia wide. So one day I put in a quote from Henry IV (I think) "First we kill all the lawyers". I thought that this was rather neat.
No-one in the network area knew that the NSW management was in serious dispute with their legal staff
Those dumb bunnies took that as provocation and nearly walked out on strike. Senior Management was perturbed, to say the least. I was hauled up before some pompous prick and asked to explain myself! "What for, the day before it as about the moon, the day before that was about sailors etc." We were given strict guidelines as to what we could and couldn't put up as the Funny of the day. I told them that I wasn't go to have anything to do with regimented humour. Humour was supposed to be spontaneous.So the next day, I put up a login notice to the effect that as some people had delicate constitutions and were allegedly offended very easily, there would be no more funny of the day. That produced a storm of complaints, that we directed to both management and the legal area that was having the dispute. The word came down to restore the funny of the day but please try and be considerate.

Multinational chocolate maker Cadbury has been told it does not "own" the colour purple, as its attempt to sue a rival was rejected by Australia's Federal Court.
Bwahahahah! I can hardly believe they had the gall to try it on, the numpties! What a joke!
Darrell Lea must be laughing all the way to the bank...
