Okay, the questions are getting backed up, so I'll answer a few today...

Mestee,
I'm trying to come up with a good team name for my softball league. My initial thought since we go to Rutgers University Law school is to name the team RU legal. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Fernald,

After carefully considering some alternatives, I've decided that RU Legal is the best possible name for a team from Rutgers University Law School. I apologize for not giving any help, but I couldn't think of anything funnier than that.

Dear Mestee,

I have an idea for your dry-mouth situation. Before your next interview, why don't you stuff cottonballs in your mouth, so that when someone notices your arid, oral cavity, you can just explain that it's because you have cottonballs in your (small) mouth.

How about it?

Jack,

I like your thinking! It's that beat-them-to-the-punch mentality that will win them over every time. I think I can use this to beat my other problem as well, which is that my car does not have a functional air conditioning system -- an issue that will occasionally leave me to present myself as a sweaty mess after a long car ride to the interview. From now on, I will wear several layers of winter coats over my new suit, so when interviewers ask why my perspiration is significant enough to fill a large bucket, I will draw their attention to my many winter coats, which would understandably make any man sweat like a fool. Problem solved!

Mestee,
Being the new law student and surrounded by anxious but untrained legal minds the hypothetical situations abound. One question posed the other day was whether Congress or New Orleans is responsible (liable) for the break in the levee. Thoughts?

-Fernald

Fernald, again!
You know I'm not one to shy away from a hypothetical (have you discussed Ray Lewis with your law cronies?), though this seems to be more of a situation that will actually arise. In my highly unsavvy legal mind, I suppose I would see which party was responsible for building the levee and who was in charge of basic maintenance (do levees require basic maintenance?). If it were up to me, that's how I would decide who was liable for the break. However, I seldom know what I am talking about, so I will leave the decision up to people who occasionally know what they are talking about.

The long weekend is upon us! Enjoy yourselves and try not to work or study too hard. Hufton, I'm looking in your direction. You will have fun this weekend and you will like it! I'll be back.
