Bond, Achmed Bond


Fuck the upcoming election that you dudes keep talking about, there's something just as consistent and twice as awesome that's always on the news: Pakistani lawyers. This picture here is from the front page of the New York Time. Just look at this guy: wearing a full black suit while hopping over barbed wire to avoid a tear gas cloud? How many law school students in the U.S. can you picture pulling that off? This guy looks like a complete badass. He could easily give Connery a run for his money.

My dad is a lawyer in Roanoke; mostly bankruptcy and real estate. He often jumps over barbed wire during political riots, if by "jumps over barbed wire during political riots" you mean "drives his Lexus to work".

The most amazing thing isn't that as lawyers they're protesting something related to their profession, it's the way they approach it like it's another day at the office. The riot is their office.

Thank you, Musharraf.
