I feel for you, Mr. London. Math is, by far, my WORST subject.
I AM RUBBER, YOU ARE GLUE!!!!

Wow, Thanks Perfesser! Sorry, I just had to say it.
Indeed, Math has always been the Bino of subjects to me.
Love the alt. text and that nice little joke. A stroke of genius there.
So their official last name is The Wolf?
I like to think that Jack just tossed the rest of the money to Poncho saying something about him not needing it and he can have it... I wonder if any of the wolves are good with money... that is a skill they need to have.
Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
Mr London is right, Math is hard. I was "forbid" from trying it.

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
I honestly find it hard to believe that Mr.London finds math hard, then again I have a D in geometry so what am I talking 'bout lol.
On the other hand I wonder what the job requirements are for a lawyer...and if they get their own special spot in the place bad people go...?

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
Why is it that everybody kept saying that Math is hard it is not hard for me and some people, if you know Math then English is hard but if you know English then Math is hard.
Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
I notice that in the previous Mr. London strip his face was obscured by a convenient lampshade. But now he's flaunting it, flaunting it, without so much as a panel border. Shameful!
Still completely recognizable by the mouth.

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
I'd be happy to address your questions. To practice law as an attorney in the United States requires a Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) degree and, in most states, formal admission to that state's bar association. Admission to law school requires one to take the LSAT, which does have math/business questions; those are writing assignments, however, designed to test one's analytical, critical thinking, and logic skills.Reconstruction wrote:I wonder what the job requirements are for a lawyer...and if they get their own special spot in the place bad people go...?
As for the second question... I really doubt it, attorneys are no better or worse than anyone else.

"Math is hard!"
I just said this today! Then again, I say that whenever I have to do something challenging that involves math.

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
Attorneys are notoriously hated mostly because when people need an attorney, it's probably not for something good. So they associate it with the lawyers themselves. Though it could also be that the profession tends to attract those who are good liars.

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
My attorney friends are among the most facetious (and often sarcastic) people I know. I can't say whether lawyers are more consummate liars than other people.

I wonder ... Is Mr. London the lawyer for the whole Milton family ? Or is he just the attorney for the wolf-related stuff ?

Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
Anyone notice that Rick's started to draw human faces more lately?
Anyway, I guess with a $6300 bank account now lined up, Jack's Rikki-Style rich. "Oh, I have this human-money stuff!" "Yes, your pay should total 25,000 a year." "Wow! That sounds like a really big number! How much is that in ice-cream from the vending machines at the campgrounds? I just sorta put coins in there until it tells me I've got enough." "...Um... you can't tell how much it costs? It says on the labels..." "It does? I never knew that... I can't read any of that fancy human writing stuff..."
*Cue dialogue on how Ice Cream comes from China, where everything is made, on the backs of semi-trucks with giant freezers on them, because that's how humans move things, and he thinks it's silly 'cause acorns, bugs, berries, and dead animals are basically free but aren't sold at the store as far as he can tell...*

I love the 'is he saying I've got MONEY?' look dawning on Jacks' face in the last panel.
Re: 2013/04/12 - Numbers Learning
Lawyers do have quite the reputation for being opportunistic, lying scoundrels interested only in money.... the amount of lawyers jokes I have heard is astounding!!! I knpw quite a few decent lawyers though, just saying.
The wolves have got to learn about money..... send them to someone responsible, like Karishad!!

They have really bad reputation because they are willing to defend whoever hires them with whatever possible arguments they can find, even if the defendant butchered a group of kids.Sleet wrote:Attorneys are notoriously hated mostly because when people need an attorney, it's probably not for something good.

I would go on on a hate argument and say that every single inhabitant of [I'll give a million guesses to find out which country I'm alluding to] is a master on playing the devil's lawyer on themselves... literally!
But I won't, because, you know, that'd be offensive.

Not to mention the high-exposure lawyers (the ones who advertise on TV) are generally the scummier lawyers, so they're kind of a vocal minority.copper wrote:Lawyers do have quite the reputation for being opportunistic, lying scoundrels interested only in money.... the amount of lawyers jokes I have heard is astounding!!!
