Lawyer is not the most respected position to begin with. Fair or not, they're the butts of lots of jokes. They can be perceived as shrewd and unscrupulous. But to my lawyer friends: Love you guys! :-)

So, how would you like to be this attorney and have the world know that you are planning to take a restaurant to court for $252.25 because they were out of soup? Kid you not, Associated Press tells that a lawyer from Mansfield, Texas, Dwain Downing, wants Our Place Restaurant in Fort Worth to reimburse him $2.25 plus $250 in attorney fees. He's also threatening to sue if he doesn't get it.

Why? No soup was included in a meal he ordered. Mr. Downing says the soup was listed on the menu as part of a Saturday special. The restaurant says they make it real clear that the soup comes with a meal only "while supply lasts."

Anyone want to start a soup fund for Mr. Downing? Didn't think so.   DB
