Follow Shakespeare's advice:

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

Sammy, that's a great quote, immediately above the quote from John!

Just kiddin' you, buddy.

I agree that the guy (“It’s a fishing hat”) has issues. I'm surprised he didn't sue for a free mammogram.

However, as someone who took Shakespeare in college, the Shakespeare quote is commonly misunderstood. It was an nefarious character in Henry VI who said the famous "kill the lawyers" quote. He was wanted anarchy and chaos and believed getting rid of the 'guardians of law' was the best way to achieve it.


Another story concerning Shakespeare and the law is why his house no longer exists. Years time after he died, the government instituted a window tax. Houses were to be taxed by the windows, as rich people tended to have more and bigger and windows. Not wanting to pay the tax, the owner of Shakespeare's old home burned it to the ground.
