I've had much more interesting conversations with bartenders and cabbies than I've had with 90% of the people I work amongst, around and against. Outside these boards, I'd have to say maybe 5% of lawyers I meet are even remotely interesting.
The guy who used to care for my folks' lawn was more well read than just about every suit I encounter in this town. Having beers with him in the garage was 10X more enlightening than anything I've heard from anyone in this business in the past decade. I assume that's because he had great intellectual curiosity, rather than a perpetual urge to convince me he knew everything (dude was crazy well read, from classics through recent pop books).
