So uh, yeah... it's um...national awkward day.

We've all been there... that time you wish you didn't say that thing, or when you did something and felt instant regret? Those awkward moments that we can hopefully now look back on and laugh?...

Shortly after beginning to practice law, I called a judge an idiot in open court. I didn't mean to say it so loud, and I thought I wasn't loud, but the acoustics were good. Regretted it for a long time, with lots of help from the judge.

      It wasn't good. It was costly, too. In more than one way.  :)

        Obviously I'm not a lawyer so forgive my ignorance; you can get penalized for that?? Held in contempt of court or whatever they say on Law & Order? LOL
