An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it, he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

    Because nobody likes lawyers. If an emergency slide falls on a lawyer, so be it.

        They are probably an exception that confirms the rule.

          I know a few lawyers who are awesome.

          None of them are particularly rich. Two of them have spent 2 of the last 3 years at the southern border doing immigration cases (I’d say pro bono, but they get paid a pittance by the Feds. Basically enough to cover a hotel room.)

      I like some lawyers. Mark Bankston and Bill Ogden are good in my books. Still, never have heroes because we’re all fallible humans.

      What do you call a lawyer killed by an emergency slide? A good start.
