Fed up with the inability of two lawyers to agree on a trivial issue in an insurance lawsuit, a federal judge in Florida this week ordered them to "convene at a neutral site" and "engage in one (1) game of 'rock, paper, scissors'" to settle the matter.actually the best part is at the end when matti leshem, the co-commissioner of the USA rock paper scissors league gave his prediction: "I guarantee you right now... that both lawyers will open with paper. Lawyers open with paper 67 percent of the time, because they deal with so much paper."
Childish lawyers are commonplace, but the use of children's games to resolve litigation disputes is apparently a new development. The judge, Gregory Presnell of U.S. District Court in Orlando, wrote that his innovation was "a new form of alternative dispute resolution."
so if you're ever playing rock paper scissors with a lawyer, open with scissors
