Walk crooked, talk straight

Walk crooked, talk straight.

When I was walking with a cane, at times I had difficulty maintaining my balance, as I would visibly have difficulty walking, to the point where I would stumble to a chair, and be absolutely relieved to be seated. I tried to use this line to reassure my clients that I would fight for them, which I did, and I carried this over to trial (when I lost my first trial, an attempted sexual assault among other charges, though I tried extremely hard), and then later in a short stint as a prosecutor. I never used what little power I had to push people around. I was a fair prosecutor, and the two mentors I had checked on me, and I learned a great deal from them. One I came to know as Zeus, and one as Sifu (he was my prosecutorial teacher).

I came to live by that expression, and be honest through the process. I segue with a funny story, a quick line that a prosecutor expressed, he basically told me his girlfriend at the time, had girlfriends who could fix me up with a girl. I then asked, "would they dig the stick, (the cane)?"

The prosecutor responded quickly, no less, "they would dig the stick, and they might even like the cane also. I was super impressed with the line, and the speed of the delivery. What a great experience that time was for me and the experience I learned, the people I met. I will never forget.

I tried to maximize the time to learn as much as possible, and it served to help me develop a strong base, which helped me in my future career. I guess I have always used that expression in my life.

Amazingly, I used no quotes, well I guess I could give one, "and there is a rose, with a fisted glove, where eagles fly, with the dove, and if you can't be with the one you love, then… "That was related to my last posting with quotes, and that was an easy and/or clue.
