Talking to Ghosts

Really gravelly voiced, very redneck sounding female

"I need a lawyer"

"Sure, whats the situation briefly" (my standard line)

"I NEED a lawyer to take my case"

"Ok, what kind of case is it?"

"Its a LAW-SUIT!"

"Yes, but what happened, what is the lawsuit about."

"Oh well, I went to the hospital and the injected me full of some drug, and I DIED!"

WAIT WHAT? Double check my brain, yeah she did say that. Usually when people say something like this, they're on a tirade so out of habit I just shut up and see if she keeps talking. She doesn't... so I respond...

"You, uh, did?"


"YESSS, I DIED, they had to fly me to ____ and inject me with something else to bring me back"

Ok, makes a little more sense. I was afraid I was going to have to tell her that we don't give referrals to the un-dead that our attorneys don't work with zombies/spirits/angels/whatever and I was not looking forward to bringing down the wrath of the recently deceased.
