Naw. The law doesn't prohibit the mention of sex, or the utterance of sexual terms. It only prohibits the creation of a sex-infused environment that is clearly outrageous to the reasonable person. You were just using shorthand, whose meaning was clear. Like yesterday, when I mentioned to an assistant, while discussing a case - "man, we're well and truly fucked." No danger of any harrassment claim there. Bad taste and rude language, to be sure, but that's all.

What if, hypothetically, I added "And then let's get back to working on the case." With my arms and fingers extended like Steve Martin as the wild-and-crazy-guy? Would that have been bad, in theory?

(P.S.. Trial foreplay always expands to fill the time available. Get it done early, and more will appear to fill those critical pre-trial days.)

True dat. One wonders if the federal courts will ever stop demanding more and more shit that they won't ever look at.

While I certainly say 2 in regard to the above analysis of the merits of the case, as you well know, anyone with a few hundred bucks can sue anyone for anything.

Did he summit or just walk around the mountain? Or did he "traverse" Denali National Park?

Summit, then decent down the back side. You want a summit picture or something?

This being the FB, I'm not entirely sure that I didn't just miss a bunch of new sex-practice references.

ABBA and GWNK have apparently recently summited and possibly sat upon some mountains.

As long as you avoid the tongue-sticking-out-from-the-vee'ed-fingers look while doing it, I think you'd be fine.

If they make it more and more painful to get to trial day, we'll settle everything, right?

Uh huh . . .

No. Your definition of "traverse" is different than mine.

Only decent? I hope he was better going up the front than he was going down the back.

Maybe you should hook up with MR.

You gotta use more lube.

You should know that I am picturing you posting this as Steve Martin crazy-man.

Dear Penthouse forum,

My sex life is now strangely similar to ABBA's. Not only did I wear pink lace underwear on my date last night (no black bows, and this was not a conscious decision to imitate ABBA - I just wanted to match my pink lace bra), but my date was commando! Which I found out by putting my hand down his pants.

Further, my underwear was not destroyed in the process.

Also, he has a huge penis. No lie. And very good. Unfucking believably good. Sweet Jesus.

And he's funny. And I'm seeing him on Saturday.

Yours truly,

GWNC

Oh sure. Like a guy with a huge penis needs to be funny.

Damn -- are you watching my webcam?

Gotta say, typing that way is a bitch.

Well, I can't help that. I'm using the connotation used by mountain climbers to indicate coming up one side, summit, down the other side.

Sorry, I can't type and half listen to conference calls and spell all at the same time.

No you're not. We have plans.

So, the other day I'm talking to a (female) GA about our case that's going to trial next month, and I'm bitching about all the bullshit we need to get done (list your contentions of fact and law. Now list your exhibits. Now list them again, in different order. And so forth.)

Eventually we figure out that we had a couple of extra weeks to do some of this, but rather than take that time I decided -- let's just get it over with. That will let us focus on the stuff that really matters, like witness exams and jury instructions.

Unfortunately, I went on to add "I'm sick of all the damned foreplay, I want to get to the stuff that actually matters." After a brief hush fell over the room, I bravely added "That's not to say that the foreplay doesn't matter, I mean."

So, here's my question: Could I get sued for that? Are there any other potential negative repercussions?

Note: It's unlikely that I would be nailing this particular GA anytime soon, for a variety of reasons, some of which are significant. So I'm not so worried about having torpedoed my chances of that. (Or is "thinks foreplay doesn't matter" a positive reference these days? I've been out of things for awhile...)

Enh. I say pre-emptive strike. Fire her ass and then say it was "performance" related.
