This is such a great line, I had to share it. Earlier today, a co-worker asked for my opinion on a legal matter, and I told him how to get a case to support a particular legal principle by doing a Lexis search. I told him that I’d send him the text for the search, but I was then distracted and it slipped my mind. This afternoon, he came in and told me that he’d run the search himself, and he’d found a case that he could use. I apologized profusely, of course, for not having sent him the language I’d promised to send him. He told me not to worry about it, and that was when he came up with the line:
You’re like me. You can multi-task as long as you only have to do one thing at a time.
If this isn’t an original line, it’s worth repeating. On the other hand, if it is original, remember – you heard it here first.
