I would initially assume the threat to sue was some sort of hoax or scam.

I’m a lawyer. I’d cope without the slightest difficulty. Your weird questions on the other hand confuse the hell out of me.

How much would you charge per hour if I hired you as my lawyer for some reason? 😕

For clients who confuse the hell out of me I charge quadruple.

:dubious: You’ve never heard Seth McFarlane sing, have you? He sings like an angel, if that angel sang a lot like Frank Sinatra. Also, I believe Katy and John have broken up. Too bad, it seemed like they were perfect for each other.

Don’t count them out. You never know. They seem like amazingly nice people and well suited but they’d have work to do. Changes, compromise, letting go of baggage & preconceived notions. Getting along with each others work schedules, work mates, business partners and entourages. Finding common ground and fighting for couple time. If they work for different music labels, is that an issue and if so will there be drama at the corporate events? Finding a place that they both can like living together at; one that is close enough so families can visit. Families… gah… I’m not even factoring that in yet.

Sounds hard, huh?

Still, every relationship starts with two people getting together, looking at each other honestly and saying, “I want this.” In the end, that’s all that matters.

* * *

Who knows, maybe me rooting for them to be happy is why someone wants to sue me?

“Your honor I’d like to file a motion to dismiss with special circumstances that you whack some sense into the Plaintiff with your gavel…”

"Motion granted. Bailiff, hold the Plaintiff still please. FO-ORE…! _Swat_ "

I’d tell Seth McFarlane to hire the original writers back for Family Guy or I’d counter-sue his pants off.

Total hijack- I really am starting to hate myself for liking this thread. I just saw a guy in a restaurant parking lot sporting a John Mayer suit & orange sox. I doubt Mr. M hangs out in my tiny corner o the world though (and asking likely would have got me stabbed by whoever it was).

I never complain about these stupid questions, the dopers answers always end up being the best laugh I’ve had all day.

Well, you know, it’s better to be screwed by Katy Perry than it is by a couple of lawyers.  
So I guess I’ll just have to “suffer” through it with Katy Perry. I’ll think of England, maybe that will help.

But why just England though? Why leave out the rest of the UK? 😕:rolleyes:

I hate it when she does that.
