1. He was playing on his computer and wrote out what he really thought, and filed it by accident;
2. The attorney didn't actually file it (the signature does not look like the signature of any attorney I know).

You've got to keep piling it on until it's oozing out of the folds in the bread...

Looks like it was a joke after all, a pretty elaborate one at that.
This was never filed. It was a joke within our office: this fake answer was created and doctored to make it look like it had been filed. It was then forwarded to Ayers, the partner on the case. Once David recovered from the shock and realized it was in jest, he forwarded it to the plaintiff’s lawyer (an old friend of his back when they were at Fulbright & Jaworski together) to share in the joke. The plaintiff’s attorney called Ayers to confirm that it was, indeed, a prank. There is no such filing in the case.

So, this is why people make jokes about lawyers.

I must be missing something. I don't see anything remarkable in that pleading. It seems quite similar to pleadings I encounter every day in my practice.
