Lawyer Eenie & Lawyer Minnie

I could not fit Lawyers Minie and Moe into this one but
I do the best I can, and besides,
who said Foolishness was an exact science?

I read in the newspaper where, now that no airplane crashed and burned, it is time for finger pointing.

It seems that the airlines, who were just as afraid to fly as the European Governments were for them to fly (the Governments were responsible for telling them not to fly) are now angry because they were not allowed to fly.

The airlines are saying they lost $1.7 Billion (with a “B”) and they want their money back! An industry group is concerned that European Governments were not justified in shutting down their airspace for so long.

Here come the Lawyers, or should I say, send in the Clowns…

Since no disaster occurred, Lawyer Eenie is standing in court holding his vest with one hand and pointing to the heavens with his other hand and is saying the following bullet points…
  • My client (the Airline Industry) has been grossly harmed by the undue caution displayed by the European Governments in this matter.
  • Your Honor, it was obvious from the beginning that there was extreme temerity displayed by the European Governments.
  • It has never been proven that a volcanic cloud could cause a plane to fall from the sky.
  • I ask that this court use its righteous power to make my clients whole against their grievous financial injuries.
  • This is a no brainer.

If a disaster has occurred, Lawyer Minnie is standing in court holding his vest with one hand and pointing to the heavens with his other hand and is saying the following bullet points…

  • My client (the Airline Industry) has been grossly harmed by the reckless actions of the European Governments in this matter.
  • Your Honor, it was obvious from the beginning that there was a Devil May Care attitude displayed by the European Governments.
  • Everyone knew that a volcanic cloud could cause a plane to fall from the sky but the European Governments turned a blind eye to that obvious danger and did not use the authority that is within their power to ground all flights to protect them from the engine destroying volcanic clouds.
  • As a result of their negligence, humpty ump numbers of plane came crashing to Earth and humpty ump lives were lost.
  • I ask that this court use its righteous power to make my clients whole against their grievous financial injuries.
  • This is a no brainer.

Would I kid u?
