Katie Herrmann: Every once in a while, someone will learn I'm a lawyer and look impressed. I immediately feel compelled to tell them I graduated from law school with a guy who got lost on a camping trip, wandered for days, and now credits his rescue to a benevolent fish in the sky that led him out of the woods.

Moral: There are all kinds of folks in this world. Even lawyers. Just, all kinds.

He was so insistent on describing the fish as benevolent. Like there are other fish that appear in the sky when you've been lost in the woods for days, but they're kind of jerks.

Exhaustion and isolation can do amazing things to the human mind

he sounds like he is also desperately seeking redemption so of course the fish would be benevolent

I mean, *most* sky fish are pretty nice, but he may have had some bad experiences.

#notallskyfish

I'm just saying have you *seen* the documentary 'The Abyss'

l'm always delighted to hear about a new fucked up fish tbh

My TL is fun this morning

I have a story like that about my PhD, but I’m not as brave.

I mean... does that affect how he does law?

would think it depends on if any fish show up that day or not

Sounds like a stand up guy, properly crediting the fish and everything. Not like those sketchy dudes who pretend they never got a helping fin.

My dad has similar stories about his med school classmates.

It’s called a Vision Quest Katie!

🎵 Goin up to the salmon in the sky 🎶

🎶 led me home what a standup guy 🎶

Wow, that really is more impressive than being a lawyer, I concur

sounds like a hell of an acid trip that the guy had

Benevolent fish from the sky sounds like a great trip..

This feels like the kind of thing I should tag @boozybadger.bsky.social in.

I would like to point out the Sky Fish is a wonderful conversationalist

The worst two or three people we went to law school with, AKA the worst people we've ever met.

Did he have the first name Link? Perhaps last name "of Hyrule"?

Yeah, my first thought was also Link's Awakening.

Between the man and the bear he chose the skyfish.

“Cs get degrees” as they say…

Skyfish making me want to get a law degree

what kind of law is he in now

That’s a take on the Third Man Factor I haven’t heard before. Was there any prior indication that this gentleman had a fish obsession?

Honestly this makes you cooler by association

Hahaha it's a low bar

He ate a funny fungi didn't he?

and clerked for alito or thomas?
