Faculty member to prospective student: Just ignore all the construction noise in the back -- it'll all be finished by the time you come. Well, by the time you graduate.
You Heard It Here First!
"Overheard in the Law School" is the page where you can read up on what your peers have been saying in Hutchins' Hallowed Halls. Check back here regularly to find out what's new, what's scandalous, and what's just plain stupid. At least according to anonymous, unverifiable sources. Have you overheard something you want us to publish? Inquiring minds want to know! Email us at overheard@theresgestae.com and tell us. All entries are posted as "anonymous." And the Res Gestae reserves the right to decline postings that may result in IIED liability (and UIED in some states).luvs,

Tweedledee to Tweedledum: I mean, if you're going in through the back door, at least put the fucking thing in your mouth first.
1st Student: Why don't we have any blonde friends?
2nd Student: Umm, I felt up a blonde at Necto once.
Student A to Student B: Once I get drunk, I'm like Bambi on ice.
One student to another: No, no, you're right, Quincy Jones doesn't beat out Nelson Mandela.
Female Law Student: Oh, one of my lovers is from a Baltimore suburb, and I feel he's sexually limited.
Student outside the Snack Bar: They were saying that there's no retributive argument if there are -- if he no longer deserves imprisonment, you know, like if he's no longer dangerous, or poor.
Professor (responding to student comment): That's beautiful. Except the Court keeps saying that it's wrong.
Dork 1: . . . wait, was it a stitch in time that saved nine, or a
switch in time that saved nine?
Dork 2: I think it was a 'switch' in time.
Dork 3: No, it wasn't a 'switch', it was a 'stitch' in time!
Dork 2: I don't think that's right. A Stitch in Time was a children's book, remember?
Dork 1: No it wasn't. You're thinking of A Wrinkle in Time.
Dork 3: Oh yeah! Duh. So which one is it then?
Prof (to hapless student): I love how, when you talk, your mouth moves more than words come out. It's like we're in a kung-fu movie all of a sudden.
3L - I don't care what X thinks. X is smoother than I am. I'm bumpy.
Student: So her mom said, "So, you do tickle porn, and the FBI needs to see you in the kitchen."
Other Student: Wait, so how much did she make?
Student: From the tickle porn? Like five grand!
Other Other Student: Yep, you totally have to pay taxes on that.
(meets blank stares)
Other Other Student: What? It says income from any source!
Random Law Nerd: Wait, you split my infinitive!
Law Student #1: I used to not touch people, but now I think cuddling's ok.
Law Student #2: What?
Law Student #1: I also used to not talk.
Student One: Sorry, I got distracted.
Student Two: No, you got fucked. It's different.
2L: If you can steal identities, I can teach you how to run deposit fraud.
3L: Yeah, but I can tell you what happens when you run deposit frauds.
