Shoot, I was thinking of Henry VI and a certain lawyer quote.

No!!!...No!!!...you don't mean...
 
First, let's kill all the lawyers...???
 
Who would be left to screw up the legal system if we were all gone???
 
Uh, wait, maybe I shouldn't post that...

"...First let's kill all the lawyers..."
 
Isn't that a misquote of some lines in Shakepear where the discussion Involves the way to control a population of people? I thought the actual quote was something along the lines of if you want to take over a country you first kill the lawyers because they would prevent you from obtaining power by legal means.
 
Thus the quote used to bash lawyers was actually in praise of them.
 
Am I wrong? Maybe some of you folks with more "book learnin" than me can answer that.

No, I think that is a myth fabricated by lawyers.

Having studied the law himself, it probably helped with his lawyer jokes. Shakespeare's Knowledge of Law. Apparently he also apprenticed for a law firm in London (as did Dickens). They both got smart and became John Grishams of their day.
 
I don't see anything about the Bard and insurance.
