sparkindarknessSitting there merrily sticking pins in the little dollies of some of my more special clients (mental note: must stop this before Mad Secretary starts trying to steal their hair) when in walks a new client - Ms G.
Ms G has a problem. She needs to get rid of something very important. Curious I ask what.
"Why, this." She replies and reaches into her handbag and puts a handgun on my desk.
A gun. On my desk.
At this point I can be found clinging to the light fixtures. I don't do guns. I am blissfully happy that Britain's gun laws mean that even though I am a defence lawyer in one of Britain's most crime plagues cities I So very very rarely come into contact with firearms.
And now there's a GUN ON MY DESK!!!
"I don't think it's loaded, but I'm not sure.." she said and STARTS FIDDLING WITH IT!
There's a possibly loaded gun on my desk!
AND a clueless moron is POKING this POSSIBLY LOADED GUN! Which is ON MY DESK!
Suddenly all my crazy clients look so much better. At least this don't drop freaking FIREARMS on my desk!
And to add: HEY, senior partners? Do we have NO security here at all?! (Well no, we don't. I suppose people don't regularly bring FIREARMS TO MY OFFICE!!!! but still, maybe we could get some...)
