Overheard in Court Today...

Attorney One:  "Your Honor, my client needs more time to respond to the Defendant's motion."

Attorney Two:  "Your Honor, it's only a two-page motion, and he's already had 28 days.  We object to any further time being granted.  Plaintiff thinks he is above the law,  he's unmotivated, and would rather spend more time gambling and drinking with various women than obeying this court."

Attorney One:  "Your Honor, I object to counsel's remarks.  My client is a reputable businessman, not some nefarious character.  Counsel makes it sound like my client is a pimp or something."

Attorney Two:    "Maybe you should give him more time then, your Honor.  I mean, we all know pimpin' aint easy."

(laughter from the gallery and a dirty look from the Judge)
