Enough Said...

Torts (a first year law course) starts at 9:30a. The following is the conversation that took place between professor and student at 9:30:01 (that's one second after 9:30). Note the absence of, "Good morning class," from the professor.

Prof. Teeter: Miss Mazer what was the defenses strongest 3 arguments in Vosburg v. Putney

Mazer: Um, the um defense (she was speaking pretty softly but she was also in the front row)

Teeter: Speak up Miss Mazer...

Mazer: The defense....

Teeter: Are you speaking English? Because I can't understand a word you're saying!

Mazer: Their strongest argument was...

Teeter: Who's strongest argument?

Mazer: The defenses strongest argument was the preexisting condition of the plainti . . .

Teeter: (Interrupts her mid sentence) No, No, you obviously need co-counsel.

Class went on like this for 70 minutes. It was great.
