Hey TL, and anyone else out there, I don't know if you've ever seen this, but this is something they have us read at West Group to get us familiar with the Law. It's written by a lawyer, but it's pretty funny. For example, one of the Q&A's:
Q: How does one of our clients become a lawyer (and how to avoid the same fate)? 5 Minute Law School Summary: Born ----->genetic defect ------>desire to be a lawyer -----> take LSAT -----> accepted into law school ------> three years of torment ------>rest of life in torment ------> Die I found this funny and thought I'd pass it on to the rest of you for humor and education. Enjoy http://members.aol.com/ronin48th/hope.htm

LOL, TL, you poor guy. I feel sorry for you all the time. You must have a death-wish. Good thing you're moving on to another profession
What's your new job all about, by the way? [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 02-19-2003, 04:22 PM: Message edited by: Arledrian ]

Well, Arledrian, right now I'm trying to assess a client's liability for the fire/explosion of a huge container of Draino it sent to a warehouse that caused $130K damage. I never knew Draino rapidly decomposed in the presence of water, releasing enough heat to, in large amount, set plastic on fire. Anywho, then I got to figure out proper language to disclose this in a document - because we're selling the company and must advise of all outstanding liability. Truly riveting.
Hey.... where'd everybody go? |

On the Draino packages they sell in shops there are all sorts of warnings about potential blow-backs (mini explosions) and heat given off if people force the reaction to occur in an enclosed space.

Hmmm..... I wonder if it's on their MSDS's (material safety data sheets).

The MSDS's should have that info on it.

Thanks, Davros, though we've derailed the thread. I looked into it further and the Drano Foam MSDS does not say Drano Foam is a DOT-classified "oxidizer" but does mention that it contains "strong oxidizers." Specifically, though not noted on the MSDS, the culprit in this case is sodium dichloroiscyanurate - which has its own MSDS stating lots of nastiness. Given that the Drano MSDS was provided to the storage facility that mixed the shite w/ water I think it's their fault. Course, they pay me a lot to think that.
Look, now I've even bored the crap out of myself. |

LOL, Timber, what happened to the beautiful client who would do just anything for you to get her off the hook for murdering her husband? You mean the practice of law is not sexy, glamorous, and exciting? Body Heat lied?
