Problem 1: by Mr Mike Tyson

Dear Tracie,

I am a lawyer practicing in Melaka. Both my wife and I are partners in our firm. I love my wife very much and I know she adores me just as much. The problem is that she 'parks' herself in front of me all day long eventhough she hasa room to herself. She is really trying my patience to the limit. It's getting worse these days because she started to control my files, how I should talk or deal with my clients, how I should write letters, opinions and even having a drink with my clients. It's bad enough. She's already controlling me at home. I'm really depressed. Please help.

Tracy Answered:

If you really care about your marriage, then you must hold your wife's hand and explain to her gently what's bothering you. Never blame her. Always blame yourself. Wives like yours think they are Queens. So remember always as for forgiveness after every explanation. This is probably the only way to maintain harmony. But if you don't give a toss about your marriage, just feed her to the shark. What a sumptuous meal.

Problem 2: By Mr Anwar

Dear Tracie,

I am a litigation lawyer specializing in tort. Recently, most of my files have had the same Opposing Counsel. There's one problem though: He gets very personal even out of court. I can't stand his face any longer. Whenever I see him in or out of court, I can only imagine of slapping him. Then, one fine day in the middle of a trial, he passed a note to me that reads "Eh Pondan, want to fight? Meet me at Jetty 8 pm tonight. No weapons. Only fist fight". I obviously ignored the note. At the next hearing, he passed another note to me that reads "You really Pondan man. Waited for you one hour. You scared of me right? Give you another chance. Tonight 8pm at Jetty. If you don't turn up, I'll tell the whole world you are a Pondan mak nenek". He is really testing my manhood. What should I do Tracie.

Tracie Replied:

There's nothing sexier than watching two men fist-fighting. Can I come and see you guys lash it out? All I can see is that your 'friend' is a big bully. The only way to stop him from bullying you is to whack the shit out of him. But before you do it, ask your 'friend' to undertake in writing that he and/or his family members. personal representative, executors, administrators, heirs and successors-in-title shall keep you fully and effectively indemnified against all actions, claims, proceedings, losses, costs, charges, damages, expenses and other liabilities whatsoever what you may suffer or incur thereform directly or indirectly by reason of your whacking the shit out of him. Good Luck! We'll be here to watch you fight.
