Top Five Signs You're Spending Too Much Time On Legal Stuff Instead Of Fly Fishing
5. You force trout to sign a seven-page liability waiver before releasing them.

4. Every fly you tie for friends now comes with four dense paragraphs of legal fine print.

3. All your casts begin with "Whereas..."

2. Put fishing buddies under oath at start of trip, then use Perry Mason "Aha!" courtroom spin to accuse them of perjury when they inflate fish size.

1. Wake up wondering which egoist going to sue you today.

I'm convinced that every single person in California will be sued at one time or another. It's only a matter of time.

Anonymous Heckler: You know, a real blogger would be settling this issue with a Google-bombing campaign. The verdict is due in 60-90 days. Stick around.

Kbarton10: I’d sue you for impugning my character but we’d have to establish I had some. Not sure my ego could handle a double negative … C'mon, you're a brownliner. You've got negative character.
