Walking and reading

[Stefka]

Have you ever seen someone walk down the street while reading a book?
Are you one of those people?
If so, you bother me.
I hope you run into a parking meter.

in college i was one of those people.
a lot of reading to do, and a lot of walking to do.
i worked 30 hours a week managing a store, and commuted for 45 minutes a day to college, which i started at 16 and finished by age 20. i had no choice.

 

[ksharp01]

No, these kids do not seem to be pressed for time. They walk down the street at an agonizingly slow place, leisurely reading Kerouac and the like.

I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron

[stilleto]

[Stefka]

Oh God, I'm scared. Chewy is going to beat the crap out of me with an old copy of Desolation Angels.

 

[youngguns]

I got hit by a car in law school doing that. In my defense, the car ran a red light and nailed me.

Were you actually reading a big ass case book while walking? I was just thinking about how difficult that would be. My con law book is over 1700 pages.

Wtf???

 

[heatherrae]

I was reading "Prosser on Torts." How ironic, eh?

 

[resqguy]

How 'bout driving and reading? Here in LA, with traffic sucking as much as it does, I want to run people off the freakin' road when I see this...

I cant read a book when i'm in a car, it makes me sick to my stomach and dizzy.

That is too funny.

Learned Hand?

 

[heatherrae]

Learned Hand?

Palsgraf...I shit you not. LOL.

 

[Stefka]

Too bad you weren’t reading about contributory negligence.

 

[javaguru]

Do you remember when you started thinking like a lawyer, seeing a cause of action everywhere.

Is it bad if I say it hasn't happened yet?


Just kidding. When I was in law school, I would watch all the trials on court TV and practice objections in my most authoratative voice...lol.

I remember my legal procedure professor saying he used to watch young and smart attorneys get pwned by an old and stupid attorney at trial who simply objected, "Basis."

 

[Stefka]

I still giggle every time I say "May it please the court."
How the hell do you manage to keep a straight face saying all this pretentious crap?

you get so used to it that you don't even think about it after a while.

Different courts have different levels of formality. Some jurisdictions you only say "may it please the court" to begin an appellate argument.

In the easter part of Kentucky, some judges are so formal that when you are done with your motion or whatever you are there for that day, you must say, "your Honor, this concludes my business before the court today, May I please be excused," like a kid raising his hand to go to the bathroom. I kid you not. Very formal!

I require the same thing after sex...go figure.

LOL...I just got this. Dang, I'm slow tonight...

I was reading about proximate cause. So, that is about equally as funny.


Java, I may be alright with that if that other thing you said was true. Puppy.

 

[Stefka]

Was it reasonably foreseeable that a sleep deprived law student distracted by Cardozo would wander into the intersection without looking both ways?

[heatherrae]

What thing?

You know. About the head clenching thingy.

Oh, please don't say the E word. You might send me into a panic.

 

[heatherrae]

Isn't it funny that Irac means something completely different to us than the redneck way of pronouncing "Iraq."
