And Now A Joke Only Lawyer-Types Get

We make lawyer jokes from time to time. This is one of them.

Kieran: You could always go work for [Company Redacted] as in-house counsel.

Emeric: They wouldn't be that much fun to work for, and would the impossible.

Kieran: [Imagining a conversation] "Well, sir, we could both do that. But we would both end up in jail."

Emeric: "You want me to skimp on what now? To the SEC?"

Kieran: "Sarbanes-Oxley requires me to beat you with this memorandum."

Emeric: "This is called a noisy withdrawal." [Begins making motions as if attacking someone with a piece of paper.] "NO! NO! NO! NO!"

The SEC will thank us later.
