Ms. Legal Person returns by popular demand with advice for the holiday season.\u00a0 “Your free help was worth every penny,” wrote one satisfied reader.\u00a0 “Do you have malpractice insurance?” wrote … oops, wrong letter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Okay, enough with the accolades and on with your questions: <\/strong><\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> They hung mistletoe in my office, and I’m highly offended.<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Why? <\/strong><\/p>\n Q:\u00a0<\/strong>It’s sexual harassment.<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> I see. Has anyone ever kissed you while you were standing under the mistletoe? <\/strong><\/p>\n Q:\u00a0<\/strong>No.<\/p>\n A: <\/strong>What about when you weren’t standing under the mistletoe.<\/p>\n Q.<\/strong> Certainly not.<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> That’s what I thought.<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> My birthday falls right before Christmas and I always get short-changed. Do I have any legal recourse?\u00a0<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> You suffer from Badly Timed Birthday Syndrome. Fortunately, last year’s Anti-Discrimination and Mental Health Care Reform Bill included the Birthday Rehabilitation Act. It allows you to petition any federal judge to modify your birthday by no more than 30 days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> That’s great news!<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> You need only prove that your birthday coincides with a key holiday, causing pain and suffering and depriving you of your fair share of attention and gifts.<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> Wow! Can I also modify my birth year?<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> How old are you?<\/p>\n Q:<\/strong> 37.<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> I’m afraid not. But you’re free to lie like everyone else.<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Ms. Legal Person answers more of your holiday questions here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
