A Mass For Lawyers

By Douglas Deep 2007-12-26

Walking along a major road near my home one Saturday I happened to pass a church. It was filled with people dressed up to the nines and I realised that a wedding was taking place.

I also realised from the vast array of BMWs, Mercs and Porsches in the car park that the union being celebrated was between two members of the legal fraternity. The church was chock full of their professional colleagues.

This was a mass for lawyers.

"How appropriate", I thought. "Lawyers amass."

I poked my head inside the door. The priest was just beginning the ceremony and I swear that this is what I heard him say.

"Let us prey."

He lowered his head slightly, holding his bible earnestly in both hands, crossed himself and continued "we prey that we continue to enjoy the fruits of prosperity. We prey that we may live lengthy, rewarding lives. We pray also for our clients that the lord shall continue to prosper them through their time of great need. May God help them!"

And prey they did. Long and hard.

You might well ask how I was certain that the bride and groom were of the legal fraternity. That's easy. Instead of holding hands after exchanging vows they stuck their hands in each other's pockets.
