Earlier today, someone told me that I was "morally bankrupt." I knew I was struggling morally, like most people, but I didn't know my situation was so bad that I qualified to file for moral bankruptcy...until I met with an attorney from the law firm of Rothman, Bernstein, Shapiro, Rosenberg, Levy, and Ali. And I thought it was going to be difficult to find an attorney who specialized in moral bankruptcy. As it turns out, most of them do. I know it was bad joke. Lawyer bashing is so 1990s.
Speaking of the 1990s (WARNING: SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION AHEAD), have you discovered my other blog, 20 Years Ago Today? I take what was happening 20 years ago today and blog about it like it's going on now. Many people have told me that it's the best blog they've ever read. Just don't ask me who these people are. They want to remain anonymous. They're afraid they'll receive death threats from other bloggers in retaliation for not declaring their blogs the best. There are so many bloggers out there who are jealous of my success.
Someone asked me how I came up with 20 Years Ago Today as the title for such a blog. I don't know. It just came to me. Now that's the kind of creative genius that makes the other bloggers jealous.
Anywaze...back to my legal issues. My attorney told me that I could file Chapter VII moral bankruptcy or Chapter XIII moral bankruptcy. Chapter XI is for business moral bankruptcy...and I hear that attorneys who specialize in that field keep very busy. My attorney explained that if I file Chapter VII moral bankruptcy, I won't have to repay anyone for the moral wrongs I have committed. If I file Chapter XIII moral bankruptcy, they will put me on a plan and I will have up to seven years to rectify all my wrongs. That sounds too much like a 12-step program. I told my attorney, Mohammad Shapiro, that I want to file Chapter VII. That way, I can start over fresh. The only problem is...I'll have to go at least seven years before I can file for moral bankruptcy again. I'll keep you posted.
