Squid Pro Quo ~ Garment Dyed Crewneck

Favors Exchanged ~ Counsel Retained ~ Groans Guaranteed

One favor for another, billed in six-minute increments. The pun lands, the paralegal sighs, and the partner pretends not to smile. Latin has never been this slippery.

• For the attorney with a sense of humor: A gift for the law-school grad, the paralegal who runs the place, and the friend who has never once resisted a wordplay opportunity.
• Terms of engagement: Something for something, with a side of regret and a small retainer.
• Practicing in: Part of Here Be Monsters, admitted to the bar.

Every crew has that one sweatshirt that ends up on every voyage, and this is the one ~ a Comfort Colors garment-dyed crewneck with a cotton face over cozy fleece, a relaxed fit with a rolled-forward shoulder and that broken-in feel from the very first wear ~ made for bonfires on the beach, chilly harbor mornings and plotting the next adventure
