Ha! And in the real world, storytellers like you make a nice living
with their fiction!

In the real world, Stanley would have lost all his private label customers
as
soon as I filed a motion-under any of half a dozen pretexts-that allowed
me to
deposition his customers' employees. Once he (and more importantly, they)
learned that the customers of any enterprise vaguely related to his
previous
business were going to have their employees subjected to interrogatories
and
depositions, he'd have to go to work at McDonalds.

Judges really, really, really hate being ignored.

In the real world you wouldn't file a motion since the likelihood of
recovery from Stanley isn't high enough.

In the real world you might soon have to learn how to file motions in
Bangalore or Shanghai.

In the real world your grandchildren probably will work in a "service"
industry (hospitality, medicine. law, financial or government) to purchase
hard goods from Asia and Latin America.

In the real world the next generation of lawyers won't be flying airplanes
because either effective tort reform will happen or the only Americans left
with enough assets remaining to be targets of suits will be other lawyers.
