It's only stuffing if it's from the Stuffing region of France. Otherwise it's sparkling breadcrumbs soaked in turkey guts.

Confirming that our profession really is a small, small world: Today in court I unexpectedly ran into (1) a law school classmate, (2) a former co-clerk, (3) a former colleague, (4) a client, and (5) someone I met once at a conference who kindly reintroduced himself 🙂
