How Lawyers Get Porn Into Their Computers - TRUE STORY!

So I seem to be the one always getting in trouble with my computer in the office because it keeps snagging viruses off the Internet.

Of late, and having just survived my second computer virus attack (with everyone else in the office completely unaffected), my colleagues have started passing snide remarks about how my heavy porn usage must be the culprit behind all of this.

I find all of these remarks less than helpful, since the commentators are all male lawyers and it could well be attempts to deflect their own heavy porn usage, or it could be their secret wish to download such massive levels of free porn that they attract a porn virus. But anyway.

So I was having lunch with another lawyer yesterday (after we were both stood up by RICHARD - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU), and this is a guy I'm working with in connection with an ongoing civil litigation matter. Halfway through our entrees, he mentioned casually that one of the document CD-ROMS that I had sent on to him had contained a sub-directory labelled "Autorecover", which, once he had opened it, revealed its contents to be .... gay porn. I swear, the CD-ROM was sent to me by a client and I never opened it.

Being a family man, he declined to go through all of the photographs available for review once he had managed to ascertain the general nature of the material, but as I pointed out to him, his computer hard drive is now officially tainted with photographs of naked men.

So much so that if he ever left his current place of employment and his firm decided to check his computer for anything, they would find these photographs and could possibly come to the conclusion that they were for his private viewing pleasure.

True story!
