Lawyer most expected to come out on top in a knife fight: Perry Mason or Rumpole of the Bailey?

1. Rumpole. Definitely Rumpole.

Guy can take a few stabs and not even flinch. Moves like a cat when you piss him off.

[Moondog]

2. +1

Trust me. Mason is a wuss.

3. Rumpole was a REMF in WWII; Mason landed in Normandy on D-Day.

I think Perry would have the edge.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Rumpole. He'd set She Who Must Be Obeyed on old Perry

and that would be the end of it.

[Flaxbee]

5. Rumpole! He could outfox anyone, he'd probably convince

Perry to knife himself. :D

6. Rumpole. He had to have gotten pointers from the Timpsons.

7. Rumpole - Age & Treachery win every time. n/t

[Orsino]

8. Perry Mason.

Didn't anyone see Rear Window? That wheelchair is to put you off your guard--guy's a killer.

9. Mason. He'll equip the chair

with Roman chariot wheel blades.

Rumpole will fight fair. And die. RIP.

:hi:

10. Yes, we know Rumpole is crafty & clever & all that... but Perry Mason will fuck you up.

Sorry folks, it wouldn't even be very close. Frankly, I'd expect Rumpole to be smart enough to avoid the situation.
