      The Book Of Approved Words

      I relaxed on the couch watching an illegal show on videotape. “They had such freedom of language back then,” I thought. “I told you to sit, retard,” the man on the screen shouted. Reluctantly plopping down, the other man mumbled, “Faggot.” “We can’t

      Sophisticated Urban Law Clerks

      They flunked the bar.

      They live with their parents.

      They owe $200,00 in student loans and, yes, they are hot chicks.

      They are Sophisticated Urban Law Clerks, independent contractors, hoping to catch on to that big catch, but until they do, watch out.

      Jessy was one of them, until she passed the bar.

      They promised they would hire each other if one of them passed, so, when Jessy did and got a criminal case she couldn't figure out, Ursula, Dee Dee, and Sasha were on board to work things out. They had other part time jobs, but working in Jessy's office is what they liked best.

      Then, Bobby wanted to sign on, but how could he? This was an all girl show. But he was desperate. He begged. He'd work for minimum wage. He was sick of working in Burger City.

      He was too good to pass up.

      First, sweep up the garbage! were Jessy's instructions.

      Bobby could do that. He was well qualified. After all, he had studied contracts, constitutional law, and torts.

      He swept good.

      Sasha watched him out of the corner of her eye. Hmmm, she thought to herself, he was not that bad looking, if you were super horny, and she was.

      But Bobby's eyes were on Dee Dee, that multicultural, Latino-Carib, with light chocolate skin and a fiery temper.

      What are you working on, Dee Dee? Bobby said.

      Dwersky, an appeal,a real low-life.

      What did he do?

      A little stabbing-a little rape-a little of this and that.

      Grab bag-nice.

      Then the phone
