  1. Dear Court Dude

    Do you look like the illustration of Court Dude? I look just like him, a matter pointed out by many of my friends and colleagues. I also happen to be a lawyer.

    Does this mean that I resemble the very personification of the law, or is it simply a matter of us looking very similar.

    Yours faithfully,

    Jeremy.

  2. Dear Jeremy, that is not an illustration, it is a self-portrait. If you look like me, we may be brothers - I always suspected Court Dad had not been entirely honest with me about a few things...

    There is an easy way to check - just jump out the window. If you fly, we're related...if not, well...maybe it was just a passing resemblance.

    Thank you for your prompt reply. My mother always said I was one in a million. I guess she was right. That means you may have (inlcuding me)21.596093 potential brothers in Australia alone.

    Until I am convinced that you can fly, I will not test my own abilities - at least not without a safety net.

  5. But half of our population are girls...

    As for whether I can fly, it depends on your definition. I can certainly "fall with style"....

  6. Touché. You may not have the power to fly, but you certainly have the power to reason.
