Ain't THAT the truth

Civ pro prof: Witnesses are too talkative. You ask them what time they had breakfast, and the answer should just be "9:03." But instead, they say, "Oh, it was morning, I remember because the sun was coming through the window, I was eating eggs, I really like eggs, because they take my mind of the fact that yesterday I shot five people…"

Case in pointelle

Tax prof: Yes, does this case (Douglas v. Wilicuts) remind us of another case? One where the paying of the taxpayer’s debt was treated as his income? Right, this is just Old Colony dressed in drag.

The one about the farmer's daughter...

student: well, what about the case with the traveling salesman?
professor: what traveling salesman?
student: the traveling salesman somehow duping people...
professor: The door to door salesman! There's a big difference- traveling salesmen get jokes written about them. Door to door salemen don't- because they're not funny.

Happy for him.

student: (other student) won three hundred dollars!
student 2: Asshole.

You trust these people to give you an education?

3L#1: ...so then the guy offered me 24 camels for the blonde girl that was with us. I thought about doing it.

3L#2: Well, you know that is valuable consideration.

3L#1: Yeah, but I would've settled for 3 camels. Mostly because the guy didn't seem that bad- you know not like the typical "I'll pour gasoline on women and set them on fire" guy. Plus, the blonde girl was kinda sucky.

3L guy: What did I miss yesterday?
3L chick: We read that case with the cat. Oh, and then he told this really funny story and no one appreciated it. If you had been there, I would have been cracking up. I mean, people were laughing, but not the people I'm on board with, you know?

This applies to 37% of us

2L: We all have different boxes that we think outside of, ok?
