An amusing interlude led to a flurry of quotes in today’s Torts.

A choice selection:

[immediately after asking a student a question, his cell phone rings]
“I don’t mean to shut you down, but I have a phone call.”

“It’s Professor P. — it’s all about him — I think he’d love for me to have a conversation in front of the class.”

[Professor P. calls back]
“Hi, You’re on the speakerphone in front of my class.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah”
“Let me call you back.”

“I don’t know to actually turn my phone off — I haven’t read the manual”

Student: “Even good marriages have their moments…”
“…When you’d want to sue the hell out of your wife.”

And one from yesterday:
[after taking a poll and finding no one disagreed with contributory negligence for failure to take precautions (e.g. not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle and then getting into a crash)]
“You’re the herd, you’ve been conditioned.”
