Legally Speaking

Working in a law office for seven years I can honestly say there is not too much that can surprise me. Well that is until recently people have begun calling and telling me about crimes they would like to/could committ. I'm not sure why they feel the need to tell me, and they certainly aren't telling my co-worker these things, but anyway, about a week ago I was told that a man was going to Venezuela to avoid the 6 month jail sentence he was facing. Then today one man told me that he was going to take the law into his own hands against someone that declared bankruptcy and won't be paying the large sum of money he owes him, and a couple hours later another man tells me that he is going to get out his shotgun and "go visitin" tonight over an estate matter.

Granted I am (almost) sure they were all joking, but I guarantee you if I even consider committing a crime I will not be phoning the attorney's office and giving them a heads up :)
