1Ls-What's the dumbest thing that has been said in class so far?

(can't remember the case name; it was the one where the sailors were adrift in a lifeboat and they killed and ate one guy)

Prof:  do you think killing and eating the boy was justified?

student:  did they cook him?

ROFLMFAO! That is the funniest *&^%! :p

Property I

Professor: So, in dealing with the open and hostile requirement and the running of the statute of limitations in this case, the Plaintiffs were frightened to confront their relative, and instead chose to await his death before staking a claim to the farm.

Student A: Wouldn't waiting be justified in this case, perhaps tolling the S.O.L.?

Professor: Not necessarily, and in this case, the court decided not.

Student B (overtly gay): That's screwed up!

Professor: thank you for your candid opinion, Student B. Perhaps you would confront your own parents then in such a situation?

Student B: Oh, no...

Professor: no? why not?

Student B: Oh, they're just dirty, dirty people!

Torts - can't remember the case name

student:  "The key to this false imprisonment case is how long it took P to figure out they were being held captive"
prof:     "That's irrelevent to this case since P became aware at some point while she was still captive, and then had to
           find a way to escape captivity"
student:  "No, the main point is still how long it took her to realize she was being held."



... At this point the professor looked like he wanted to kill the guy

Torts

Prof: Not many people outside of proseesional sports consent to getting beat up

Student: Excuse me, have you seen jackass?

Discussion of Alabama Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress case where Sears customer service employee said to coworker (while customer is on phone and can hear him), "this guy is more queer than a 3 dollar bill"

Student: Being gay in Alabama

Not gunner-esque, but hilarious

Here's a good one....

In Torts Class:

Girl raises her hand: "This may sound stupid, but one of my friends told me that Illinois is getting rid of common law"

Professor:  "Remember when we were talking about half full and full cups...well, your friend's cup is full all right...full of you know what"

[robmelone]

Prof: Is that a commercial outline you are reading from?

Student: Yes

Prof: How's that working out for you?

(in response to Fisher, where it was held that grabbing a plate out of somebody's hands was sufficient contact for battery)

Student: "What if two people were having a tug-of-war with a rope stretched over a pit . . .

Not dumb, and not 1L, but worthy of a post:

Corporations Prof - "and here we see a good policy situation for the ol' Learned Hand Job."

It has already become legendary.
