I was just talking this past week to a beautiful, smart, traditional, moral woman who also happens to be a lawyer. She's 35 and her marriage prospects are not great. The ironic thing is that she'd be a great catch in today's situation, but men are too gun-shy to even think about marrying a lawyer in most cases. Also, I don't think she has come to grips with the fact that her own decisions have resulted in putting her in this situation. Many of us don't wake up to the realities of life until our late 30's. But for women, that can be too late.
Why does this remind me of the setup for a joke?
You know... the one about a tombstone request for "Here lies a yadda yadda... and a lawyer"?
And they guy tells the requestor that it's illegal to bury two people in the same grave... :)
