6747. IF YOU STILL HAVE A DATEBOOK

IF YOU STILL HAVE 

A DATEBOOK

The fourteenth floor is what could be construed as

the thirteenth, for insurance purposes. It's a hard fight 

in court for someone to say you were unduly influenced

and therefore jumped from the thirteenth floor, depressed.

If you still have a datebook, mark down the twenty-third

for court being in session. The judge is Langford, and both

lawyers, a Miller and a Goldberg, or something, are already

allied with each other. Nobody speaks for the plaintiff except

others who claim to know what he meant by jumping. He's

so dead it's meaningless now. If you still have a datebook,

mark down the ninth for a visit to his grave. On the way

down, he also hit an awning and someone's landing  -  they

too are suing for aggravation and damages. So he's being

sued for jumping to his death, while he's also suing someone

else for being the cause of his jumping to his own death.

Does any of this make sense? If you still have a datebook,

mark the twenty-ninth for us to go to the law-library in

Bobst' Chambers to look for protocols and predecessors

for such a case as this. If you still have a datebook.
