[Peace-discuss] Apology

The Apology

A little bedraggled fellow sat at the bar quietly
pursuing an advanced state of inebriation.

After a while, he slammed his fist down on the bar.
"Lawyers are Assholes!", he loudly exclaimed.

A big burly guy who was playing billiards nearby heard this
remark and jerked the little guy up off the bar stool by the 
back of his shirt collar.

"Apologize right now, or I am going to throw you
right through that plate glass window!!!", 
the big guy commanded.

"Uh...er...um...Are...are you a Lawyer?"

"No, I'm an Asshole."
