I might not mind Olive Garden, but part of being a gracious and generous host is ensuring that your guests are well-fed with the best you can offer. It's admittedly a very ancient and possibly wasteful ritual, but one which persists culturally. How many lawyers do you think actually enjoy playing golf? :3
As someone who comes from a family of lawyers and attorneys, I think you vastly misunderstand what most lawyers are like. I think you also go to fancier golf courses than most of us. :3
I think we just know different lawyers. I'm also in Florida, there is no shortage of nice golf courses (though the nice day part is a bit tough to pull off in the summer heat).
