I just declined my services as an attorney to a gentleman who called me and said that he had been visited very early in the morning recently by two special agents of the F.B.I. who who were inquiring of him concerning his activities, quoting him now, "recruiting an armed militia online and outside bars for defensive purposes in the event of civil war."

Did I have an opinion whether it was "odd" that the two federales had in tow a phalanx of armed, uniformed local police officers standing a respectable distance away? You know, in the event of civil war, I guess. I did have an opinion on that matter and answered with typical lawyerly brevity, "No."
