      If you’ve ever been inside a British courtroom, you’ll discover that they regularly act dumb, too. Lots of pomp and circumstance, but its still the same clueless, vulgar assholes under the hood.

      I think that’s intentional. It proves their dominance. I mean you have to go to them and they are wearing something very silly and you have to pretend it’s not silly, and if you don’t they will harm you somehow.

        Laugh at a lawyer wearing a wig, and they will come to your house at night and cut you!
