'If corporate lawyers are a dime a dozen, where are the other ten?'

"On the plus side, I finally have a key to the executive washroom."

"Who's taking my order—the committee of the whole, or is there a liaison for decaf?"

'Upset at you for breaching the non-compete? Of course not.'

"The numbers don't lie . . . but we do."

"Here comes a client I must speak to. Excuse me while I slip into some jargon."

"When the company announced that they're gonna move our retirement accounts down to Mexico, I was like '401 Que Pasa?'"

"You're a great team player - so we're trading you."

"And I suppose you expect me to pick that up?"

"Sorry, we don't hire people with a history of whistle blowing."
