Permission to Approach the Beach

Not having jobs Julia and I have had the pleasure of spending many a leisurely day at the beach. Our favorite beach so far is Manhattan Beach, the first place we went after landing at LAX. We parked our Mitchukekikeee in a small lot close to the beach and decided to spend our first afternoon in California walking along the beach. Before we even hit the beach though I noticed another set of waves. Neon blue waves to be exact. Right in front of us was a sign that read MANHATTAN LAW. With the neon waves separating the Manhattan from the Law. Symbolic? I think so. We immediately fell in love with this sign and an idea was born for the greatest television show in the world.
Opening credits would include but not be limited to still shots of "lawyers" in blazers and board shorts opening brief cases filled with sand and water. A piece of paper would probably fall out as well leading people to think it might be an important law document but it turns out to only be a receipt to Sharky's. Board meetings take place at El Tarasco and the Judges bench is made out of conch shells.
Popular lines on the show would include but not limited to:
"Permission to Approach the Beach" (Courtesy of Nate Luce)
"Take the Bar, Hit the Bar"
"Surfin' and Servn'"
"Hang 12.....Jurors"
"I plead Not Bogus, Your Honor"
"No Shirts, No Briefs, No Problem"
"Law Suit in a Wet Suit"

One afternoon while working on our tans, Julia and I spotted our first perfect cast member for Manhattan Law. A blond girl in a tiny pink bikini reading an LSAT for dummies book and visibly drunk.

Counsel, lay a foundation (of sunscreen) first.

Don’t belabor the point, dude.

Please resume the (life-guard) stand.

You have exhausted that subject, brah, please move on.

Could we have a sandbar?

May we see you at the sandbar, your Honor?
