The urban legend about "sociologists in the sewers" arose because of the unwise practice of scooping up baby sociologists from the autumn woods. Urban denizens, beguiled by the shiny button eyes, take the little critters home as pets, and then flush them down the toilet as their vices, such as territorial marking, manifest themselves. (Many of these behaviors have been bred out in the sociologists specifically reared as pets, although ethical purchasers should beware of "TA Mills.")

Of course, nobody makes this mistake about lawyers.
