I don't think that they could extradite you, even if what you said was, as the lawyers say- "actionable". I didn't detect any maliciousness, nor did you slander or defame anyone in particular. If you are from somewhere else- and I'll tell you, 'Anders Nygren' doesn't sound like you come from Kansas!, then I am amazed at the cross-cultural and international feelings about lawyers, and lawyer jokes! I, of course, have made it a point to find as many Lawyer Joke Websites as I can, as my own pitiful excuse for a brother is a lawyer, and I feel it my duty to keep my nieces apprised of the world situation of lawyers. Some of my best friends are lawyers... (but I wouldn't want my sister to marry one). They do tend to be a bit anal retentive, and sensitive. It's probably a genetic anomaly, since lawyers sometimes tend to run in families, though an occasional mutation such as my brother comes along once in a while. So, Anders- don't be too humble.... lawyers can smell fear and humility and are more prone to attack when they do! Now- LET"S GO TAKE SOME PITCHERS!
