I have a colleague who harks from Africa and has a rather innovative answer to the mid afternoon lull. The mid afternoon lull is, by his reckoning, the period between 2:30 pm and 5:30 pm. Poor thing, he’s busy digesting and as we all know its difficult to digest and breathe at the same time, so who can blame him for stretching out in his seat and sleeping for a wee while.
I always convienced myself that a decent education doesnt actually teach you any knowledge but rather teaches you how to acquire knowledge. By application of this maxim, a decent lawyer is basically someone who knows his way around the world wide web. Now Africa is, I am sure, full of highly qualified, highly intelligent legal minds. But somehow they haven’t made it to my office. The one that has found his way here today said to me:
“What is goggle search?”
“Pardon?” i replied, knowing full well what he was asking but incredulous at what I was hearing.
“Goggle search. What is goggle search?” he persisted, with a mental agility and dexterity that is a thing to behold.
“Do you mean ‘google search’?” I offered.
“Aha. Yes. Goggle search. What is it?”
“Do you mean what is it, or whats the address?” i asked
“What is the site”. I presumed he was trying to ask me for the URL.
I had never realised that i am a racist until i just reread this post.














Oh thanks, really, it was just a minor post, gee, shucks, namaste.
