A Lesson in honesty

A Lesson in honesty

Your Probate Shark was once many, many years ago a young sailor in the training command in Jacksonville, Florida. This Shark left his barracks with his class to go to lunch. The only people who were present in the barracks were the "compartment cleaners" who did the heavy cleaning of the floors and walls. Upon returning from lunch your favorite Shark checked to see if his magnetic flashlight was still attached to the steels springs of his bunk. The flashlight was gone.

Your Probate Shark reported the missing flashlight to his class leader who in turn reported it to the master-at-arms who in turn reported it to the SP’s. The next event was the building being surrounded by SP’s and Marines. An officer sealed the building and with a bull horn informed the building's only occupants, the "compartment cleaners" that the building would be searched for this Shark’s flashlight. The flashlight was found in the exact location that I had left it within ten minutes.

The officer informed all that the flashlight must have been misplaced by this Shark...because the "United States Navy" does not have thieves. He also ordered this Shark to be more careful where he keeps his flashlight.

Your ProbateShark was informed that the Probate Court of Cook County has closed the Estate of Alice R. Gore. The pathetic paltry remnants of her once million dollar estate where dispersed to some of Alice heirs and the most deserving got nothing. Your Probate Shark wishes that there was a Navy Officer who would claim that "the Probate Court of Cook County" does not have thieves. But unfortunately the Probate Court of Cook County does have thieves. They are the judges, lawyers, GALs and bondsmen. Your ProbateShark has named them in previous posts.  They should be ashamed of themselves,  however, shame in not one of their attributes.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com
