I forgot about that! :) Jeesh, OK we'll have to think of someing real quick. Hell one of us has to make it before the collectors! :) Did you handle any freebie cases for unwed mothers on welfare and coping with an abusive spouse who was a drunk? :) You can add any other things that might help your case. Like maybe the spouse was using a Nikon or Canon or some other piece of non descript machinery. :) Like you don't have any hidden 21 year old "White House - trainies" in your background? Possibly her father may have used a Leica? If there was a Leica in the family (never mind about the honey) it could make a big difference. As all the LUGNUTS could vouch for your Leica credibility with the Big Guy upstairs. :) I mean the "lawyer" bit could be a difficult sell at the Pearly Gates! But then we all know what a fine upstanding human being Leica User Lawyer you are and your not one of the usually perceived "lawyers" (no details required as we all know what kind of no goodd......... ) Naw your not one of those guys. :) That's why it's very important you take the M6 with you, along with a 100 rolls of B&W film, so that you'll look like a working photographer and not one of those c......... well I wont say it, some of them are my friends.:) You better make it! As I'll certainly need you pleading my case big time when I get there!! So you better be on the inside for sure. Offer to take every angels official portrait with your Chrome Pearly White St.Peters Special Edtion M6! Man that's gotta impress them! Can't you see it. An M6 body in Pearl White chrome with the figure of St.Peter stamped on the top plate with the red dot Leica logo right between his out spread wings! It could be stamped "Holy Photo Father Special Edition" :). OK that's all the foolishness for now, I really got to get to work here.:) ted
