Watch the filmCharon: Today I am talking to Geeklawyer about his tax return and other matters. Good morning Geeklawyer. You have been doing your tax return for nearly eight months. Are you going for a Pullitzer prize?
Geeklawyer (In a German accent): Good Morning Charon. The life I live means I have to pay particular attention to my tax and other official papers. My tax return is one of the most creative things I have ever done… a work of true genius .
Charon: You appear to have turned into a German. Have you been watching too many war films on Dave? Be that as it may, tell me what else you have been up to. Have you been on Twitter recently?
Geeklawyer: Ja! I have been on Twitter night und day. I am addicted. I cannot help myself. I wake, see the Twitter screen and I just have to go on. I even Twitter from court. Judge does not like it, but I told him that I am typing a note of the proceedings for my records.
Charon: I’m sorry, Geeklawyer but I am having real difficulty understanding you… are you sure turning yourself into a german is a great idea?
Geeklawyer: Ja! It is a great idea. I can charge clients even more because I also have doctorate degree from internet and clients think I know a lot more law than my competitors. Also, when they ask me to repeat myself, it takes time and time is money!
Charon: Well there we are. Lawyers are feeling the pinch in these credit crunch times. We all have to cope. Thank you for coming on. I wish you luck with your new riches.
Geeklawyer: Did you say Reich? No… I must have misheard you. It may be the mead I have been drinking.
Charon: Well it is goodbye from me and it is goodbye from my mate Rommel. Goodbye. Auf Wiedersehen.
the week. This may prove to be an entirely worthless exercise and if it is I shall abandon it…
