Hello again loyal readers. Another Boobus Americanus post is here. This one is part two of Boobus Americanus as a consumer. As loyal readers already know I worked for many years in the legal field in California, working with both attorneys and the general public.
As I mentioned in part one, I used to prepare paperwork for divorces in the State of California. And some of the calls I used to get are incredible. I would receive calls from people who wanted to get divorced but they could not locate their husband or wife to have them served. The utter lack of knowledge of the legal system by Boobus Americanus is something to behold. I get a secret pleasure out of it. I like to think of it as my hobby.
These people would call and tell me that they talked to their friend who told them that all they had to do was place a small ad in the newspaper to serve their spouse!! WTF! First the law in California requires that they diligently try to locate their spouse by having a private detective or someone else search through public records to find them. Then they have to submit a declaration to a Judge who will decide whether to approve it. The notice must be published in a newspaper close to where the last known address is. And readers this not a small classified ad. Back in 1995 or so the newspaper charged at least $350.00! It is probably double that now.
But these people really thought it was like placing a small ad in the newspaper. It should be easier than a normal case, not harder. What was I talking about? The truth, that is what I was talking about.
But Boobus Americanus thinks they know everything. Pompous idiots is the only way to describe most of them. It is not so much that they do not know anything, they think they know something which is even worse. But it would be easier to pull teeth from a tiger than get them to admit that. The hubris is hard to describe.
Boobus Americanus thinks everything, including the legal system is like going down to the shopping mall. If they don’t like what you are telling them they just assume that they can go to the next “store” and find a better deal. Non-stop shopping, right. Shop til you drop.
Boobus Americanus is in the words of one commentator, a nation of obese, voyeuristic, money grubbing hypocrites. And that is putting it mildly. I am so glad that I left the United States, particularly California and moved to Asia. I cannot stand being around Boobus Americanus.
Stay tuned. More stories to come on Boobus Americanus.

Boobus americanus as attorneys, part three
Hello again loyal readers. The Old Cynic is back with Boobus Americanus as attorneys, part three. As I mentioned in parts one and two, I have worked for many years in the legal field here in California and worked with quite a few attorneys. Some good ones to be sure. But I have also worked with some real “winners”.
Let me begin with some examples.
This attorney I will call “Cakewalk”. This guy was something else. He actually worked in insurance defense but he fancied himself as a “litigator.” He was definitely anything but.
I worked on one case where someone had asked for a restraining order against a client, when the client and the attorney showed up at the hearing, the other party did not show up. So the judge granted their request for attorney fees for having to defend against the charges and appear in Court when the other party did not show up. The judge awarded something like $2,000.00 or so in attorney fees against the party who did not show up. He then prepared a proposed order for the Judge to sign in which he included wording such as” “The Court finds that so and so filed frivolous charges against blank” and similar statements Needless to say the judge did NOT say that and the proposed order was not signed for over a month. When we checked with the attorney service as to why the order had not been signed, they checked with the clerk who works for the judge who told them the judge would not sign it because of the wording that Cakewalk included. When I deleted the wording the order was signed within a week or so.
This guy was something else. It is my opinion that he was in an unhappy marriage as there was one secretary there who was shall I say, “Intelligence challenged.” In other words folks she was a ditz. She could not even spell simple words correctly! She once took over 6 weeks to contact a client about something important, yet when I had to use her computer for something I could not help but notice that she had downloaded the latest Christmas them screen saver for her computer. When another attorney and I were discussing her, Cakewalk came into the office and said simply, “She has big tits.” And that was true. But I would rather work with someone who knows what they are doing. If I want to see big breasts I can visit a girlie bar just a few miles away where I can ogle to my heart’s content and I do not have to pretend I am not ogling. What can I say I’m an old fashioned kind of guy.
Cakewalk was like the pompous drunk in that he attracted bad clients like poop attracts flies. He had one that owed him around $30,000.00 and he was still doing work for them. And the cases they had were in the words of another attorney who worked with Cakewalk at the time, “dead bang losers.”
One afternoon, the client who owed all that money was in my office for something, Cakewalk came in and started talking tough to him in front of me saying that he needed to be paid something like $8,000.00 or he would not be able to keep working for the client. If memory serves me correctly the clients would up filing a bankruptcy and I doubt Cakewalk got paid much of what he was owed. Another client he used to have was under indictment from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Stay tuned. More to come on Boobus American, not only as attorneys but in all aspects as well.

Dealing with Boobus Americanus
Another Boobus Americanus post is here. This one is about Boobus Americanus as a consumer. As loyal readers already know I worked for many years in the legal field in California, working with both attorneys and the general public.
The attitude of Boobus Americanus is astounding. Everyone is so mesmerized by the horse manure of advertising that they want the sun, the moon, and the stars, all rolled into one, at 60% off to boot! I sell sample legal documents on the internet as one of my side businesses. A few weeks back I got an e-mail from someone complaining that the document they had purchased was the wrong one. The nasty e-mail ended with “Thanks for nothing.” I looked into it and discovered that Boobus Americanus Twittus had not read the description of the document. In other words it was her fault she had purchased the wrong document. The ditz needs to get a new pair of glasses at Lenscrafters for heavens sake! Or try eating more carrots. I was tempted to point that out to her by replying to her e-mail but finally decided against it.
Incredible. Another purchaser of a document expected me to spend who knows how much time explaining everything to her. Give me a break! The document sells for $14.99 and I only get around 80% of that amount. When I pointed out that she was asking for time that she had not paid for, she complained and said I had not right to be, in her words, “an ass”. She said that I
could be an ass if I had went to law school. But since I had not I had no right. Give me a break. The disclaimer on the document description states that I am NOT an attorney. What did you think you were going to get for $14.99 lady? What an attitude. If I had gone to law school I could complain all I wanted. In fact I could have screwed her over and she would not have done anything. After all, everyone knows, but will never admit, that attorneys are basically a bullsh***er with a license. Yes some are good and decent people.
Around a week ago I got another e-mail from someone who lived God knows where who wanted me to e-mail them a document and then they would send me a check. WTF? He said he could not pay online. Guess what dude! As the old sayings goes, “Money talks and bullsh** walks.”
Everyone wants something for nothing. Understandable to some extent, but the gall and sheer
audacity of Boobus Americanus is hard to fathom. It is like they know deep down that the system sucks, they just want to screw someone else over any chance they get.
I used to prepare documents for divorces in California. A guy called me one day and we started talking. This guy was unbelievable!! He had several kids but did not want me to list them on the divorce petition. And it gets better folks!! This guy asked me, “Can you back date the divorce filing a few years?” WTF again!!
