Bar humor

I just got this in an email from a dear friend who is right now in the depths of hell, aka studying for the Bar exam. If you have already taken the bar, this will bring back memories. For those of you still studying, hang in there. You WILL pass! For those of you who have not suffered through the Bar exam, find a lawyer friend and share this with them. They will laugh their butts off.

NOTE: Thank you to Roberto R from UC Hastings for this little gem!
1. People who don't record their deeds:
Hey. Fuck face. That's a nice deed you got there. Went ahead andbought Stankacre, didya? That's awesome. Owning property is a signof real maturity. Now, why don't you do us all a fucking favor, andgo record the fucking deed.Right. Fucking. Now. Don't put it in a goddamn drawer. Don't go off to India for 20 years. Don't leave the deed in your will for dear cousin Victorianox. Get your fat lazy ass down to the records office, and record it before I burn your goddamn house down.

2: Wily property sellers:
Here is a suggestion to those Bill of Rights violatin' petty thug assclowns, the Police. How about you go down to Doucheacre, and arrest the son of a bitch who sells the same house to 15 different people, over and over. I'm sick of this guy getting away every time he pullsthis shit, and I'm left to sort out the fucking pieces.

3: "Known" arsonists:
Here's a little tip to all the cretins that keep hiring "known"arsonists to burn down their cheating girlfriend's house. Why is it, do you think, that he is a known arsonist, you dipshit? He's known because he has been fucking caught before. You don't know who the good arsonists are, do you! Because they have their shit together. But no, you had to go hire Dusseldorf, or Durango, or whatever D word your fuckwit moron arsonist is named, and now he's gone and burned thewrong house, and left me with a BAR question.

4: People who back out of conspiracies:
Why don't you just stick with it and save us all some trouble, you pussy.

5. Power companies that leave an electric wire live to deter copper theft:
While I appreciate your effort to rid the world of thieves stupid enough to try and steal raw copper wiring that's fucking humming and has blue arcs dancing on it, it's just gonna bite you in the ass inthe end. Just let the copper go.

6. Fertile Octogenarians:
I think I speak for all of us when I say...
...Burn the witch!
Burn her!
And don't use a "known" arsonist!

7. People who use anything more complicated than Fee Simple Absolute in a will:
Hey, old man. Either give Horatio your fucking interest in Scroteacre, or don't, alright? Don't condition it on him growing a mustache, or learning to play the calliope, or winning "Dancing withthe Stars." Don't grant a springing executive interest to Zenobia if she manages to graduate from Ninja academy. Stop making my life more complicated than it needs to be, you Narcissistic old twat, and stop trying to control your property fromthe grave in a vain attempt to make up for your feebleness in life.

8. House Painters:
Just paint the fucking house yourself, Paulson.Trust me on this one. It's not worth it.

9. Bank Mortgages:
Hi there, First National Bank of South Calizonachussettsas. I don't mean to tell you how to run your business, but allow me to impart abit of sage wisdom.
When someone :
1) named Defaultina McBankrupstein,
2) is taking out her 17th mortgage with you,
3) on a place called Mushacre
4) so she can buy a new hat,
….do NOT fucking come crying to me when the inevitable judicial foreclosure sale nets $34, a button, and some lint, all of which are devoured by the banks that are 20 miles ahead of you in creditor line. And do not ask me whether you are a junior or senior mortgagor, or whether you debt is secured, or some other bullshit I don'tunderstand, because the answer is always the same.
D) You are Fucked. Take it like a man.

10. Wanna-be Burglars:
I am sick to death of these slackjawed melon-heads deciding at 2 a.m.that they need to borrow their neighbors wrench, and are sure he"won't mind" if they saunter on over there in the middle of the night,crowbar the garage open, smash open his tool chest, and "borrow it."And then always the inevitable fucking:
Did he commit Larceny/Burglary/Robbery?????? Ohhhhh, no intent!

Let him go, boys. Let the man go. So I can throw the wrench right at his goddamn teeth. Good thing when we are really in practice we will have these IntentGoggles (c), that can magically tell us, despite every bit of evidenceto the contrary, this jackass really didn't intend to commit a crime.He genuinely thought that breaking into your neighbor's house,stealing his car, taking a shit on his pool table, and sleeping withhis wife were all part of the social covenants between good neighbors.

forget to touch upon evidence and why if somebody tells you that his cousin heard that the neighbor saw a flying elephant, you should not believe it.

Consider selling ads on your blog, Ms Dixit - this is going to propel your hit count into the thousands. In fact, I would say hundreds of thousands. Especially right now.

It has helped me immeasurably, and is making every fellow bar-studier I know happy, if only for a few moments. Thanks you, a million times thank you!

OH... and let's not forget those "merchants" that dont read the god damned "fine print" rubberstamped IN RED INK that modified the purchase order K. Why the HELL would you not bother checking your fax machine for more than 10 days?!?!? HELLO!!!! Oh, he changed the K so that we get bent over a barrel and fucked up the ass... oh, that's ok, don't bother replying. Whatever.

Haha wow. I, uhh, don't know exactly how to approach this, but I am the author of that diatribe.

It was actually just an email I sent to two of my friends as a joke (I go to UC Hastings in San Francisco), and it has apparently been forwarded to Bejesus and back, and low and behold, now I'm even on the Internets.

I don't even know who you are, I just got an email from a friend of mine who linked to this site. Guess I should have put my name on that email, as now I'm anonymously famous!

But you can certainly credit me, if you like, as Roberto R from UC Hastings. I'd be happy to send you the proper list I wrote, as the formatting got a bit frazzled on your page, it seems.

Cheers, everyone! I'll be here all month. Try the veal.

(If anyone out there in internet land would like to pay me cash money to write pissy little rants so that I don't have to become a lawyer, I would right appreciate it. Feel free to contact me at my (now abandoned) webpage)

Thanks for the reprieve! With the bar 2 weeks away, not much is funny, but your email brought up a belly laugh. The BIGGEST gripe I've had is that unless someone has been through this THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND that "do not call me unless it's an emergency" does not mean "call me when your dog has puppies," or "call me if you change the color of your hair" I DO NOT CARE!!! I'M STUDYING FOR THE BAR! AND NOW, once again, if I tried to forward this on to my non-legal head friends - who are already out there in the real world with most of their student loans paid off - they wouldn't understand this email either. THANKS again for the laugh.

Awesome. It brings back bad memories. But then all you bar-takers will pass. And then, your happiest day (like mine) can be the day you leave the law for greeneracre.

How about telling states not to ban one type of two equally safe types of truck tires and ask me to determine if it unduly burdens interstate commerce. Just let truckers use either type of tire!

My two friends and I take the bar in just over a week and we had tears running down our faces reading your blog. It is comforting to know that we all are in the same boat. Good luck to you and to all.

with the bar a week away, this was well worth the laugh...but my main grip is with the dipshit merchants who don't delivering on their fucking contract, either do it or don't, cover? wtf? just fucking deliver what you said you would damnit!

Hilarious. But the saddest part is when you have been practicing a few years, not making enough money at all and strapped with loans and worst of all realize how BORING it all is and you get no respect and you live at work to get that billing done which they then cut to peanuts and there are no equity partners any more unless you bring in your own business then you will say "What the fuck have I done"??!!!

May 1, Jackass sends by mail an invitation to an offer to seven clowns because the first clown, Hozo got some clown STD. May 2, Crackhead makes an offer by mail. May 3 acceptance. "The next day" Jackass changes his mind and mails a rejection. May 5, there's a counteroffer from someone else in telegram form just to mix things up. Who sends an f'ing telegram? May 7 receipt of rejection and another telegram accepting the May 2 offer.

Passive-aggressive clowns. Use the phone.

Ah.... Absolutely hilarious! Took (and passed, THANK G-D) the July 2000 Bar but your blog brought all the horrific memories back :)
You are brilliant and should maybe consider a career in comedy instead of toiling away in the legal world?!?
And just to add my two cents to Vitaly- FUCK YOU!!!!
Cheers and good luck to all you bar-takers. One day, this too shall pass :)

This is the best thing I've read in weeks. I was laughing so hard my husband wanted to read it and while he laughed a bit, it just wasn't the same for him. Thank you, so much, for sharing it.

If you make an offer and then change your mind, you think maybe you should use something other than the US mail?

Its funny because its true....if anyone is taking the bar shortly, on your practice questions for BarBri or whatever bar review course ur taking...argue criminal fraud on the "hand in" questions and see what they say....i bet its worth at least a point or two on the NJ or NY bar exam

I love the question involving the 1000 pound tiger who wouldn't hurt a fly and was raised from birth by hippies and eats tofu who then goes crazy and kills a busload of kids...as Chris Rock would say about the tiger that mauled the gay magician "That tiger didn't go crazy...that tiger went TIGER"

I'm studying for the bar (aka, home on a Saturday night trying to memorize arcane bullshit), and this had me literally laughing out loud.

Fucking known arsonists and committers of non-burglary indeed.
