Last night I attended a lawerly function with my two mentors, one of their wives, and a retired federal judge who is well into his nineties. Mentor #1 is driving with Judge in the front passenger seat. I'm in the back with Mentor #2 and his wife. Judge, who is one of the kindest people I have ever had the privilege to know, turned to me. In a kind voice, he asked..."So, are on my face?"
Mentor #1 swerved and got a few choice hand gestures from the drivers around us and Mentor #2 choked on his gum, thereby giving me a few blessed seconds to process that one.
"No, I'm not, Judge. I don't think anything can compare to a thoughtful, handwritten letter."
Somehow, I don't think that's going to make it into the firm's monthly newsletter.

Persuaded - the judge innocently used a slang phrase for oral sex.
Wow, nice reaction on your part though lol. I would have had a really hard time holding in laughter.
