Clients Say The Funniest Things, Part One

My dad, Robert Wiley, practiced law for almost forty years before going on the bench in 2007. He is an inveterate collector of anything, and so he always kept a great running list of things that clients said to him. There are too many good ones to list all at once, but I'll post them a few at a time here. Here goes:

• A woman said she wanted to have her ex-husband's wages "squashed" (garnished?)
• A woman said her husband had "irresistible" brain damage.
• A man told him about a woman who had cancer, but it was "in remorse."
• A man complained about a car purchase, and said he was taking his complaint to the Bad Business Bureau.
• A woman in a divorce case said she had a problem with bugs, but had them "distinguished."
• A divorce client said her ex-husband's girlfriend's yard was full of "scrubbery" which she got from a "nursing place."

More to come.
