LIKE....what??

Do you find it hard to take someone seriously who starts out every sentence
"Oh my Gawd...LIKE....wow...." ?

I wonder how some of our associates ever made it through law school. It's interesting. You have either the "clueless" extreme; the anorexic, faster talkers who apparently watched too many episodes of "Alley McBeal" when they were undergrads and need to lay off the caffeine; or you have the "perfect/pretty boy combo". What is that, you ask?

It's a guy named "Blaine", who has perfect teeth, a perfect smile, looks like a metro sexual male model, who parents probably pushed him from the time he could crawl all the way through little-league and high school toward this unattainable, if not merely superficial, level of perfection.

The email sent around the firm announcing Blaine's arrival as a new associate and briefing us on his background reads:
Valedictorian of his class;
Editor of his Ivy-League School Law Review;
Climbed the highest peaks of Mount Everest in record time;
Ran with the bulls in Spain;
Performed a tracheotomy on a dying woman at a city bus stop perfectly without any medical training !

Yet, when Blaine opens his mouth ,all that comes out is
"I dunno...LIKE...what should I...LIKE... do with these documents...?"
