One time after leaving my foot prints all over the power company defense
attorney in deposition the attorney who had hired me teased me about not
respecting that attorney's glorious years as a quarter back for the
University of Iowa football team. I pointed out that this was the real
world, not a game in a stadium, and besides I don't care about football
and didn't know his history. That one didn't go to trial either.
