    Default Crux of the Matter

    As a young lawyer working on my first big case, I was sitting in
    Federal District Court watching a prominent attorney question a
    witness. The attorney was trying, unsuccessfully, to elicit certain
    information.

    Finally the judge turned to the witness and asked a question that
    prompted the appropriate response.

    "Thank you, your honor," the attorney said. "How is it that you were
    able to get to the crux of the matter with one question after I had
    tried three times?"

    "Easy," replied the judge. "I'm not paid by the hour."
    Androgens Order
    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.
