Shock the monkey, or I'm shocked to find gambling going on at this casino.

The biggest shock I can cause is telling people I'm a transactional attorney. People are shocked or flat-out don't believe me. This applies to everyone. Rich, poor, black, white, young, old. Although, based on experience, I can spot a Biglaw lawyer from 50 feet (and can identify one from earshot as easy as pie), I fail to understand what it is about lawyers that make regular people think they all look the same. Hell, there are more lawyers, than rats (may be hard to tell the two apart, but I digress), why wouldn't people think we come in all shapes, colors, sizes and personality types?

I've gotten "you're too nice to be a lawyer" on more than one occasion. |
