Would that were true!
Yesterday I received a letter at work. About half way down the page I read the following:

The sentence started above the fold. This was the first line. I wondered what person identifying themselves in this way could be writing to me.
I unfolded it. The sentence continued:
“…Party Patron.”
The letter was from Senator Arthur Sinodinos, State President of the Liberal Party.
He is not a member of the legal profession at all!
The enclosed bumph included an application form which anticipated that I would “enclose $950 for my first year membership.”
For once, the title to this post has something going for it.

Is he referring to himself as a senior and important member of the legal profession – which I imagine is a rather boastful statement for anyone to make – or is it possible that in a clumsily constructed sentence he is identifying you as a senior and important member of the legal profession?

Well Victor, that was my little joke. I’m sure he meant (or at least, “meant”) the latter. Hence my title!
