A husband and wife were having a fine dining experience at their exclusive country club when this stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, says she'll see him later and walks away.

His wife glares at him and says, "Who was that?!"

"Oh," replies the husband, "she's my mistress."

"Well that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce. I am going to hire the most aggressive, meanest divorce lawyer I can find and make your life miserable."

"I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more wintering in Florida, or the Caribbean, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Bentleys in the garage, and no more country club, and we'll have to sell the 26-room house and move to two smaller homes, but the decision is yours."

Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

"Who's that with Jim?" asks the wife.

"That's his mistress," says her husband.

She replies, "Ours is prettier."

I was trying to find the Illinois statue regarding the general public etc...My attorney stated that since it happened on a stairway and something pertaining to the general public use...(I didn't quite understand what he was getting at) that it is hard to prove the case and was one of the reasons I was denied WC...but the stairway I fell up is exclusive to employees only...dimly lit and in need of some repairs (the bldg was built in 1934) our bldg has never been renovated or updated...it is the original police station...just patch work ever done...can I get your opinion..Thanks

I live in Illinois. My injury took place in the middle of a public street, while I was doing mt job (my job is manager of a retail store)! That street is not owned by my former employer and they didn't even try to deny my claim. If your lawyer is saying you can be denied because of where the injury took place, even though you were doing your job when it happened, then I'd be looking for a 2nd opnion from another lawyer, yesterday!
