Demonstrate

After receiving my law degree, I decided to order some personalized stationery. The salesman who came to take the order wanted to demonstrate his familiarity with legalese. Hoping to impress me, he informed me that in England they had two levels of attorneys: solicitors and banisters. He succeeded in impressing me. I placed the order – don’t remember his name, always will remember the English banisters. And Dorothy Parker’s quote: “She probably did that sliding down a Barrister.”
