Law Firm Jargon-Schmargon

The first time I went to Baton Rouge, I - like most people - ended up in a law firm, but not before ending up in a jail cell.  The thing about Baton Rouge is if it's technically illegal, they will arrest you for it.  It's just a fact and that for me is just a bit over the line if you know what I'm saying.

The law firm I ended up at sure didn't understand what I was saying and the fact of the matter was I didn't understand what they were saying either.  My mom was from Georgia so I figured that I'd be able to understand people from this part of the country but then the more and more I thought of it I realized I had never, even once understood something my mother had said to me.  Not anything.

Of course understanding anything said in a law firm is a tall order in the first place.  Especially if it's any sort of technical law firm, then it's entirely incomprehensible.  It's like talking to a child.  Even if you can grasp a semblance of a word here or there when you put them together it's still just hogwash.

Don't get me wrong, the law firm had great treats and I loved the place.  I just have no idea what was said or what I was paying for that's all.
