I know we would be a good fit because: 1) I would defend anyone's right to discriminate on the basis of astrological signs; 2) I wish to learn from the best attorneys, who, like artists, have mastered the concepts of rationality and reasonability, but then have thrown those ideas out the window; and 3) I will do anything to work for anyone of the ''International AmLaw 100 law firm[s]," even if I do not know which one you are. First, I would gladly take up the case of an employer who fired an employee for being a Scorpio (or even those twofaced Geminis). We're in America. And in America, employers can discriminate against their employees all they want. 1 And it's not like that hypothetical employer was acting arbitrarily and capriciously. Everyone knows that Leos are loyal employees, just as Scorpios are stubborn ones and probably would create hostile work environments and lead to sexual harassment lawsuits. Second, I want to learn from the best. Warren Buffett said that you should work for people you admire. I admire your firm for putting out a job ad, telling it how it is, behind a corporate veil of iron courage. I also want to be a litigator who throws out reasonability and rationality out the window, gets what he wants, and doesn't care what others think of him in the process. I admire you, and would not mind one bit putting in the long hours for your firm; besides, I would rather stay indoors in my office at night for fear that a vampire might attack me on my way back home. And finally, I would do anything to work for your mysterious ''International AmLaw 100 law firm" Being on this list says it all Such ingenuity and bending of ethical rules by melding The Global 100 with The AmLaw 100 into a list that doesn't exist is really just the tip of the iceberg. I can't wait to discover the rest. Sincerely, Hank Scorpio 1 With the exceptions of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, a few other protected classes here and there, and in retaliation for complaining about discrimination. But boy did we put up a good fight against those!

Undisclosed  ''International  AmLaw  100  law  firm"    [email protected]    via  electronic  mail      

Re:  Labor  &  Employment  Litigation  associate      Dear  Sir  or  Madam,    

I  would  like  to  be  considered  as  a  candidate  for  your  job  opening  which  specifically  excludes  scorpios.  I  know  we  would  be  a  good  fit  because:  1)  I  would  defend  anyone's  right  to  discriminate  on  the  basis  of  astrological  signs;  2)  I  wish  to  learn  from  the  best  attorneys,  who,  like  artists,  have  mastered  the  concepts  of  rationality  and  reasonability,  but  then  have  thrown  those  ideas  out  the  window;  and  3)  I  will  do  anything  to  work  for  anyone  of  the  ''International  AmLaw  100  law  firm[s],"  even  if  I  do  not  know  which  one  you  are.    

First,  I  would  gladly  take  up  the  case  of  an  employer  who  fired  an  employee  for  being  a  Scorpio  (or  even  those  two-­‐faced  Geminis).  We're  in  America.  And  in  America,  employers  can  discriminate  against  their  employees  all  they  want.1  And  it's  not  like  that  hypothetical  employer  was  acting  arbitrarily  and  capriciously.  Everyone  knows  that  Leos  are  loyal  employees,  just  as  Scorpios  are  stubborn  ones  -­‐  and  probably  would  create  hostile  work  environments  and  lead  to  sexual  harassment  lawsuits.    

Second,  I  want  to  learn  from  the  best.  Warren  Buffett  said  that  you  should  work  for  people  you  admire.  I  admire  your  firm  for  putting  out  a  job  ad,  telling  it  how  it  is,  behind  a  corporate  veil  of  iron  courage.  I  also  want  to  be  a  litigator  who  throws  out  reasonability  and  rationality  out  the  window,  gets  what  he  wants,  and  doesn't  care  what  others  think  of  him  in  the  process.  I  admire  you,  and  would  not  mind  one  bit  putting  in  the  long  hours  for  your  firm;  besides,  I  would  rather  stay  indoors  in  my  office  at  night  for  fear  that  a  vampire  might  attack  me  on  my  way  back  home.    

And  finally,  I  would  do  anything  to  work  for  your  mysterious  ''International  AmLaw  100  law  firm"  Being  on  this  list  says  it  all  Such  ingenuity  and  bending  of  ethical  rules  by  melding  The  Global  100  with  The  AmLaw  100  into  a  list  that  doesn't  exist  is  really  just  the  tip  of  the  iceberg.  I  can't  wait  to  discover  the  rest.    

Sincerely,    

Hank  Scorpio  

                                                                                                               

1  With  the  exceptions  of  discrimination  based  on  race,  color,  religion,  sex,  national  origin,  disability,  age,  a  few  other  protected  classes  here  and  there,  and  in  retaliation  for  complaining  about  discrimination.  But  boy  did  we  put  up  a  good  fight  against  those!  

 

 

PS,  I  love  long  walks  on  the  beach.  And  I  definitely  would  not  pursue  a  quid  pro  quo  theory  against  anyone  in  the  office  who  would  invite  me  to  one.
