Amodsun:
For goodness sake we can be likened to many things but not condom. Those were my exact thought when I came across a discussion on why lawyers are like condoms on Rollonfriday.com.

I quickly read through the discussion and couldn't help but agree with some of the reasons that were adduced on why lawyers could be likened to a condom. Out of the many reasons given, I decided to share these four points I personally believe to be true. So here they are:

1.People get to use both lawyers and condoms because they have to, not that they want to

If given an option, most folks would rather not use both lawyers and condoms. So it now becomes a question of them being left with no other option than to use them; because if they don’t, they would be screwed.

2.Both lawyers and condoms are only used at critical moments

We don’t get to use them every now and then. We only remember them when we find ourselves under certain critical situations. When everything is going on well we don’t remember them; but at those key moments, we quickly reach out for them.

3.When the deal is done, both lawyers and condoms are cast off in disgust

This particular point flows from the above mentioned points. If both lawyers and condoms are only used because people don’t have an option than to use them, and their usage is only needed under critical moments, it becomes predictable that once they have been used, they will be discarded; most times with disgust. More like- “The deal is done; I have no further need of you”.

4.When lawyers and condoms are neglected, the consequences are grave.

Neglect a lawyer and you are most likely going to get yourself into a lot of trouble. Folks have lost great fortune, been cheated, duped, suffered great injustice because they never got a lawyer involved. In the same manner, unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, broken marriages are some of the consequences of neglecting the use of condoms.

As much as comparing lawyers with condoms might not be the cutest thing to do, but hey, you can’t help but to also agree with me that we share some similarities. Let’s hear your opinion on this, and probably other ways we share similarities with condoms.....#Legooo grin

I agree with some of the points but not all. Funny enough I still wrote about that number two in my last diary update. People might not like lawyers but when they get into trouble they then appreciate the lawyers.

I don't really agree with some of ur points. Can you tell me one thing you use when you don't have use or need for it? So, don't say you use condom or lawyer because you have no other option but to use them because you use virtually everything you use because you have no other option and because you have use or need to use them. When you are sick, you take drugs cus u have no other option but to take drugs to be fine, when you want to bath, u use water cus there is nothing elseu would use apart from water, when you are hungry, u eat food cus u have no other option but to eat food. So you use almost everything you use cus you have no other option but to use them not just only condom or lawyers.

I've got no pity for lawyers... I'm sorry... but the fact that the OP used condoms is better... I would have used something far awful than condoms... more like manure... for example...

1. not everyone likes to take a dump... if one had a choice he/she wouldn't take a dump... (You know where this is going... right...?)
Re: Four Reasons Why Lawyers Are Like Condoms by Nobody: 1:00pm On Jul 13, 2015
Lawyers, cast off in disgust? Far from it please - I beg to disagree with that point, a lawyer's worth is more than that or do you mean the 'charge and bail' lawyers?

There are some things you use... You keep them as a souvenir.... I still have a box (the casing of a perfume) my sister's husband got for me 5 years ago from the uk... the box itself is useless... but have have I thrown it away...? NO...

I've got two unused condoms in my wallet... when I use them do I keep it...?!

I've got no love for lawyers... none whatsoever...

I'm proud to be a lawyer.

As brilliant as it must be kicking a ball about with Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in training, there comes a time in every man's life when you've just got to branch out on your own. Get some minutes on the pitch.
Barcelona striker Pedro, 27, has surely got a decent Premier League season or three in him? That's reportedly what Chelsea reckon anyway - they're said to have already put an offer in.
Pedro, who's available for a cool 30 million euros (£21m) after Barca reduced his buyout clause down from 150 million euros (£105m), says "there are offers" for him, but he hasn't said who from, and he hasn't yet said he plans to leave...
