There was a young lad who, because of his less than desirable associations with some less than desirable elements of society, was a constant embarrassment to his mother. It got to the point there she could not take it any longer when, on a trip to Wal-Mart, he shouted at the top of his lungs "Look at those funny bowlegged bastards!" Mom could take it no longer so she took the young lad to a prominent psychiatrist for help in controlling his anti-social utterances. The good doctor opined that the kid's actions were the result of environmental influences and that if he were exposed to more gentile patterns of speech, the problem would be solved The good mother immersed young Johnny in what was considered the best of language environment - he was read Shakespeare from dawn to dusk - King Lear, Julius Ceaser, Midsummer Nights Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth....he heard them all - over and over for months on end. Finally the good lady thought it was time for a test of the treatment and took young Johnny back to he same Wal-Mart and they saw the same gentlemen who had inspired the original outburst. In keeping with his most recent environmental changes, Johnny observed "Behold..,,Gadzooks....What fools are these.... who walk with their balls in parentheses?"

Who cares about the Bard? He wanted to kill all the lawyers.

That was Cicero whom Shakeaspear's Heinrich VI was quoting.
