Sometimes you get a piece of mail that just makes no sense. Today a piece of mail from a SF bankruptcy lawyer reached my desk. I couldn't figure out who E. Lynn Schoenmann was, and why would anyone have any records to send to me, and why this person was going bankrupt. Was this some long lost relative, and I was entitled to some long lost fortune? Finally my curiousity got the best of me, and I called up Some Law Firm & Sons, a Professional Corporation to ask just who in the hell was E. Lynn Schoenmann.

"Good morning. Some Law Firm & Sons."
"Hello. I've got this notice of bankruptcy from you which I just don't understand. Who is E. Lynn Schoenmann?"
"Did you have any business with this person before?"
"I don't know who this person is."
"Did you ever do business with the law firm Skjerven Morrill MacPherson LLP?"
"You mean the huge SF firm, with zillions of lawyers, and the awesome office overlooking the Bay?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, I used to retain them for some stuff."
"Well they are out of business now. They're bankrupt."
"You're kidding!? The economy is that bad in San Francisco now?"
"Well that's all relative. It's not bad for us at all. We're handling their bankruptcy matters."
Silence.
"Hello? Are you still there?"
"Um, yeah, I was just thinking how I must be doing something right, because I'm still in business, and they're not. That's pretty cool."
