Press Release Summary = The Slam-A-Gavel Stress Reliever helps lawyers and others
relieve stress through the cathartic act of slamming a gavel on wooden blocks
imprinted with a variety of stressors. Slam-A-Gavel is available for $34.95 from
The Billable Hour Company, www.TheBillableHour.com/slamagavel.php.

Press Release Body = Ardsley, New York November 14, 2006-It's no secret that lawyers
lead incredibly stressful lives: they operate under relentless time pressures in an
adversarial environment that breeds hostility, conflict and cynicism. Now, lawyers
can relieve their stress with Slam-A-Gavel, sold by The Billable Hour Company.

The patent-pending Slam-A-Gavel comes with a gavel, nine blocks with different
stressors printed on each side, and a storage box with a square hole in the lid.
The user selects a block, inserts it into the center of the storage box with the
current stressor face-up, and closes the lid. Then, in a cathartic moment of
release, the user slams the gavel down on the chosen block, producing a resounding,
and satisfying, "whack."

The nine wooden blocks display a total of 54 different stressors. Lawyers can slam
their gavels on judges, juries, clients and even other lawyers. Employees,
co-workers and "The Idiot Boss!" are all there as well (although simply slamming "I
Hate This Job!" might be a more efficient approach). Personal stressors are
well-represented, from families (including the ever-popular mother-in-law and
ex-husband) to bills, taxes, neighbors, roommates and landlords. Liberals can slam
conservatives and vice versa, and libertarians can slam the government. Those whose
personal demons are not among the 52 identified stressors will find the
"______________Fill in the Blank" and "Paste Ugly Photo Here!!!" blocks extremely
useful.

Slam-A-Gavel inventor Henry Espinosa, a San Diego postal worker, hopes that his
humorous invention will help users relieve stress and, as a result, avoid many of
its negative consequences, including depression, headaches, low morale and decreased
productivity. "I'm happy that The Billable Hour Company is helping to bring
Slam-A-Gavel to the attention of those who need it most (aside from postal workers,
of course!)," says Espinosa.

Slam-A-Gavel is available for $34.95 from The Billable Hour Company, at
