WAS INSULTED FARRIER, NOW BATTLE OF THE SEXES.

["Tracey" <tracey@tbt.co.za>]

Hi, Kathy.  You have my sympathies.  I am an attorney and, trust me, it's
still a male world.  Nothing like being called "darling" by opposing counsel
to ensure no chance of a settlement and that I whip his hairy arse when we
get to Court.


And let's not go into the time an Advocate asked what colour bra I had on!
