Valium for the Soul

Come with me on a journey through uncharted territory...

Quotes:
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. - Oscar Wilde
Quotes:
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein
Quotes:
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. - Mark Twain
Quotes:
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. - Albert Einstein

Judge offended by cleavage.....
Chief Judge in Equity Peter Young says "unwelcome" displays of flesh can be unsettling - especially when the offenders are well built. His comments are in an article for the Australian Law Journel entitled "Politeness".

He goes on to say:

"There is no problem with the bar, as there is a standard form of dress. There has been virtually no problem with male solicitors, who invariably wear jacket, tie and long trousers.

"However, it is clear that some female solicitors have no idea of appropriate court dress. The worst offenders are usually well-built women who expose at least the upper halves of their breasts, and as they lean forward to make a point to a judge sitting at a high level they present a most unwelcome display of bare flesh."

Justice Young, who is the editor of the journal, railed against the presence of water bottles in a previous issue.

nuff said.

    He should come here to the U.S. and join the Republican party where they say they are better sexually than Democrats (posted on my blog today). Maybe more cleavage wouldn't bother him then.

    Damn, why does he feel he must do something about cleavage? Is he feeling urges to do something carnal? He needs to get a grip. (pun intended.) :-D

    Just read this today in the SMH. I didn't know whether to be disgusted or bemused by the Judges comments. Gee, poor little bloke has a bit of trouble keeping his eyes where they belong.

    More female judges might just cure the problem, no?
