Lawyer Installs Shark Tank in Office

A Montana lawyer said his decision to put a shark tank in his office started out as a joke.
“I said, ‘What would it take to put a shark in a lawyer's office?' and it just kind of took off from there,” lawyer Christopher Gillette told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Workers hoisted the 1,000-gallon aquarium through the second-story window of Gillette’s new office in downtown Bozeman on Monday. He plans to fill the tank with a blacktip reef shark and other saltwater fish, including a venomous lionfish.
Gillette, who practices family law, says he thinks clients will find the tank to be relaxing. “People seem to be comfortable with fish,” he told the newspaper.
Others will get a chance to watch the marine life, too. Gillette plans to install a camera and broadcast video of his fish tank beginning in February at www.cjgillettelaw.com and www.ccaqua.com.

All I can say is that is AWESOME!!! It’s probably not the best image of the profession, but it shows that this guy has a great sense of humor and can laugh at himself.
