Disputed territory between the Heights and Inwood. From the Bridge to Dykeman Street was Inwood once upon a time and is often thought of as the heights now. Yuppies want addresses in the heights.

That's something litigators say when they're going fishing, right?

You know that scene in "Blazing Saddles" where Gene Wilder sets up a tollbooth in the middle of desert scrub and Slim Pickens rides up to it and says "Somebody better go back and get us a shitload of dimes!" It's like that at trial, except substitute "hearsay exceptions" for "dimes."

You describe the Blazing scene in detail so I think the word choices "you know," are ill-advised. Why not just use "there is a scene?" Your version excludes those that might not know, and combined with the anticipated confusion most of us bring to reading your every post anyway, really sets the reader up for an unduly angst filled experience.

It's worth the trip. The only reason France let go of those tapestries is because the Rockefellers agreed to restore Versailles.

There is a story that Albert Einstein was once asked to explain radio. He supposedly said: "Start with the telegraph. The telegraph is like a very long cat: you pull the tail at one end, and the cat meows at the other. Now radio is exactly like the telegraph--only there is no cat."

He should be experienced enough to know it doesn't mean a fucking thing, if that's what you mean.

I got on the elevator with six people who were all on the same jury (not mine). In other words, I'm the only one on the elevator who isn't known by the others. They hit 7; I hit 6. One of them doesn't see me punch the button and gestures to the button panel (where two buttons are burning brightly), "Floor, sir?" Everyone else is quiet. I say, "Thanks, got it already." Question: Did I have an ethical duty to follow them to their courtroom and urge the lawyers to settle on the last offered terms?

stupid non-observent people on the jury means the lawyers were doing their job at selection. In fact, I'd worry about the other 5.

And, depending upon a particular jurisdiction's interpretation, worth of a motion for Rule 11 dismissal and sanctions.

Sort of. Sort of like the Sprinkled in Capitals used to make words seem Important.
