My new client! Sorta...

[Brian Krashpad]

One of my firm's biggest clients is a Venezuelan-American Florida attorney who represents a lot of big companies from that country, as well as Venezuelans and other South Americans living here in Florida. His biggest client, which I've freqently done projects concerning, is a large Venezuelan company which until recently did a lot of business here in Florida.

So yesterday, this attorney and I are on the telephone discussing one of the cases I'm working on, and he says "By the way, we have a new client, you and I!"

I immediately cracked up laughing, as I do not co-counsel with him, such that his clients are not really my clients, and said, "Oh we do, do we?"

"Yes, a Mr. Chavez."

"First name wouldn't be Hugo, by any chance?" I said, expecting the answer "no."

"That's the one!"

Our client is actually meeting with him later this week. He has nationalized the company our client represents.

If you end up getting stopped at the airport, just say you never heard of me.

Well, at least you could get a good deal on a case of Cuban cigars :D

If I was Robert, I'd ban ya right now, just in case! Wait a minute--they don't have Homeland Security, the CIA or the FBI in Canada, do they? OK, never mind.... ;)

Somebody needs to caption this...


I'll start.

"Holy caca, Krashpad is my attorney? I gotta stop nationalizing companies and work on my chops, or he's gonna smack me upside the head with a Rickenbacker!"

Or, "Maybe my plan of being a total belligerent ******* wasn't the best idea after all."

Although, of course, I'd never use a Ric as a weapon.

Precision Bass is the way to go! :dude:

I believe that picture qualifies as *facepalm* (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=facepalm) quite nicely :)

And that, in fact, is exactly why I chose it!

So that's where this :thwap: comes from.
