My stock answer when someone asks me about my job as a transactional attorney (because no one seems to understand that you can be a lawyer and never go to court) is as follows:
Remember when you went away that one summer to the beach/country/lake house and you were there for like a month? There was so much to do that first week, but after you did it all, you and your brothers/sisters/cousins/friends started to get bored, especially when it rained. You ended up taking out the board games. Parcheesi, Sorry, Life, Payday and of course, Monopoly. Monopoly wasn't a bad game, lots to do -- buy this, sell that, avoid jail, etc. But, everyone argued over whether you could have 5 houses or if you had to buy a hotel after a certain number of houses and how much you had to sell back certain properties for and what happened if you actually rolled doubles when you were in jail, but the dice weren't exactly level, etc. You remember that one annoying kid who controlled the Monopoly box top and couldn't wait to refer to the rules to let everyone know what they could or couldn't do? That's me. I'm the annoying kid with the real life equivalent of the Monopoly box top.
