    Nice one Frank. One of Louis Gossett's best movies! Hmmmmm Frank. Did you graduate from OU law school or another house of ill repute. Because attorneys are just a different breed "of women of the night" are we not?

    Just to advise that the Procrastinators convention was cancelled. The fellow in charge of sending out the invitations never got around to it.

    Grew up in Boston suburb, attended college and law school up there (Did you read the reference in my signature to "Fictitious Boston Attorney"?). Being somewhat of a contrarian, moved to Florida for love (met wife while in law school, she was in grad school, but from FL) and career, as opposed to those who move here when they have, or are wrapping up their careers.

    Now as for your comments about women relegated to working the night shift, if only my union clientele would organize them. Damn that would make for some interesting negotiations. Can you say, merit pay bonuses? How about performance reviews? I can only imagine the riveting disciplinary hearings, grievances and arbitrations.

    By the way, why do you denigrate working women by associating them with our lowly profession? They earn every penny, unlike most lawyers and law firms. And don't get me started on comparative ethics between our professions (or lack thereof).

    Moses, never said I won't double on 11 vs 10. The discussion was about getting the double card face down and speculation about why one would ask for it face down. I just was stating how some ploppies make comments such as
    "I would never double down on an 11 vs 10.."

    This guy who gets irritated because some other player wants his card face down (some dealers give it face down without asking me and I Don't mind) is upset that it does not bother me when someone gets a card face down.
