Tired of all the seriousness I've posted lately, I decided to post some frivolity. First stop was a Google search on frivolity where I found a Wikipedia entry on "tactical frivolity." Sounded interesting. It is.
One of the references is an article in the Guardian, titled "Carnivalistas slink in with a pink revolution" and written in 2000. Here's how the article begins --
Looking for an image to illustrate tactical frivolity, I came across a blog called the South Florida Lawyers with the byline "a law blog done with jealousy, love, snark, humor and civility." It had this picture --
The South Florida Lawyers' blog also had this video of Alan Alda in a clip from "Crimes and Misdemeanors," uploaded by TheDukeofMadness.
Two things -- lawyers can be very funny and I may be "cursed" with seriousness.
Oh, and "If it bends, it's funny. If it breaks, it's not funny!"
