Have you ever noticed how easy it is to think, come up with ideas and solutions, when you’re doing something simple and routine, something that requires no thought in of itself?

My most productive times are when I’m taking a shower and washing dishes. I’ve been doing both of these chores long enough that I have the routine down pretty good. I don’t have to think much about what I’m doing.

Well, the other day I was doing my husbandly duties, washing dishes, and a thought popped into my head. It rattled around in the empty space for a few seconds until it got my attention: “Why don’t attorneys at law do what you do?” I gave it my patented response: How should I know? Hoping it would just go away and let me finish the dishes in peace.

But, no. It kept persisting. It wanted more of my time. It wanted me to formulate a reasonable answer.

So, I gave it a few more minutes. After a little thought, the answer became obvious: follow the money.

Attorneys are always on the side of the money, or so they think. In this case the banks. They must think, if we sue the debtor, and he doesn’t pay, we can get our fees from the bank. They’re always good for it.

Which just goes to show you how dumb attorneys at law really are.

It seems to me, if you defended the debtor, and counter sued the bank, for a lot more money than the debtor owed, you would end up making a lot more money and still have the bank footing the bill.

Wonder how long it’ll take these professional geniuses to figure this out?
