Duncan: Who do you have for Civil Procedure?

JD: No one; my section takes it next term. What’s it about?

Duncan: I have no idea, that’s why I’m asking you.

JD: Well, have you read the assigned cases?

Duncan: I can’t get past the first one, Pennoyer v. Neff. I could be wrong, but I think that the holding is a recipe for mixed drinks.

JD: That makes sense, given Dean Perry’s speech at orientation.

Duncan: I slept the whole time.

JD: So did I, with the exception of one lucid moment. He said that the most important thing about law school is learning how to hold your liquor. Apparently, no matter what their legal focus is, most attorney’s specialize in drinking.

Duncan: We’re only first years. No wonder why I’m the only one who shows up to our 9am class.
