The Surreal Law Practice

This happened yesterday:

Receptionist (over the intercom): Kristina, ________ _________ (client) is here to see you.

Me: I don't have an appointment with her today!

Receptionist: She says she has to sign some papers to sign but is a little bit late.

Me: Ok...hang on. (looking at our client database to try and remember who this person is.)
Me: Oh, Christ. This woman had an appointment on March 1! Well, I still have the papers so I'll be right down.

(looking for and finding the check and release client had to sign & going downstairs to meet client.)

Me (to client): Uh, ____, you're 4 and a half months late!

Client: (sheepish laughter). Yes, I am a bit late. Kristina, you really like people on time, yes?

Me: Yes, yes, I guess I do.
