[quote=Anonymous]I’m a female lawyer and don’t think this is inappropriate as a joke. No one likes lawyers. We tell them that they can’t do whatever they wanted to do. That’s our job. People make jokes about it. I make jokes about it. It is a way of dealing with the fact that we are the least favorite part of everyone’s day. If you can’t have some sense of humor about it, this career will wear on you even more than it inevitably will. Also, I’d rather have them make that joke to my face (indicating that ot os just a joke and I’m in on it) than behind my back (where it might suggest that they really do intent to just ignore me). Appropriate response is probably something along the lines of “but if you beat up all the lawyers there will be no one to defend you in the deposition when you get sued after ignoring our advice!” Or “yeah, yeah, I get it—everyone loves a lawyer.” [/quote]
