We did at my law school. There was no victor. But, Journey's "Faithfully" has never been karaoked as sweet as that. Also, the time our law professor said he'd pay for all our drinks, I saw him whip out multiple hundred dollar bills on a couple occasions. Moral of the story? Law students drink. A fucking lot. An almost unbelievable amount. Morgy will back me up.

Tiss a fact of life

I am not aware of any drinking *competitions* with profs, but its not uncommon to have a pint with a prof now and again (if they're a good prof, that is). They've even been known to every now and then come along on our rural outreach events (wherein we get 40 people, rent a bus and go to some tiny town in nowheres-ville, find a bar there and drink it dry!).

[Anomander]

While we don't approach law or med student levels of drinking, engineers tend to drink a lot of the time as well. I suppose it's only natural after having to do so much damn math and physics work.

But engineers have better drinking songs, anyway, and that's totally what really counts...

You are not better than Journey's "Faithfully."

Edit, word 'round law school was that Med students didn't drink all that much, but were more pill poppers. Could be wrong there, but the faculty was pretty insistent on it.

It varies from campus to campus I'm sure. At my varsity the engineers either didn't drink at all or were total drunkards, without any in between. The med students didn't really have much of a reputation, but their campus was across town, so we didnt run into them all that often. The nurses, teachers and law students were pretty legendary partiers though.

Sounds about right. It's the professions where people have to actually get serious and act professionally as they get to upper years/graduate and get a job that party the hardest in the first couple years to make up for it!

I know its hard to believe, but the Physical Education kids partied ALLL the time.

I know, a shocker.

IDIOT SIGHTING #1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a twenty pence piece.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change.

IDIOT SIGHTING #2
We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one GARADOR made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'
We haven't used Garador repair since. Happened in Moor Park, Nr Watford, UK
IDIOT SIGHTING #3
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the Highways Department to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
Story from Potters Bar, Herts, UK

IDIOT SIGHTING #4
My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.
From South Oxhey, Herts, UK

IDIOT SIGHTING #5
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an Irish airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your Knowledge?'
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
Happened Luton Airport, UK

IDIOT SIGHTING #6
The stoplight on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeping was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She is a Local County Council employee in Harrow, Middlesex, UK

IDIOT SIGHTING #7
When my husband and I arrived at Our Local Ford dealer to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
'Hey,' I announced to the Fitter/Mechanic, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK.

Yer Frend
BiLLy

Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You're on your way to a career in lawncare. How about I
send you a fucking book so you can learn to read and write? I'm giving
your older
brother the space ranger. At least he can spell.
Santa



Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is peace
and joy in the world for everybody!
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Your parents smoked pot when they had you, didn't they?
Santa



Dear Santa,
I don't know if you can do this, but for Christmas I'd like for my mommy
and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do.
Love, Teddy

Dear Teddy,
Look, your dad's banging the babysitter like a screen door in a
hurricane. Do you think he's gonna give that up to come back to your
frigid mom, who
rides his ass constantly? It's time to give up that dream. Let me get
you some nice Legos instead.
Santa



Dear Santa,
I want a new bike, a Playstation, a train, some G.I. Joes, a dog, a drum
kit, a pony and a tuba.
Love, Francis

Dear Francis,
Who names their kid "Francis" nowadays? I bet you're gay.
Santa



Dear Santa,
I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for
your reindeer outside the back door.
Love, Susan

Dear Susan,
Milk gives me the runs and carrots make the deer fart in my face when
riding in the sleigh. Do me a favor. Leave me a bottle of scotch.
Santa



Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you busy making toys?

Your friend Thomas

Dear Thomas,
All the toys are made in China. I have a condo in Vegas, where I spend
most of my time making low-budget porno films. I unwind by drinking
myself
silly and squeezing the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money
at the craps table. Hey, you wanted to know.
Santa



Dear Santa,
Do you see us when we're sleeping, do you really know when we're awake,
like the song?
Love, Jessica

Dear Jessica,
Are you really that gullible? Good luck in whatever you do. I'm
skipping your house.
Santa



Dear Santa,
Can I please, please, please, please, please have a puppy?
Your friend Timmy
Timmy,
That whiney begging shit may work with your folks, but that crap doesn't
work with me. You're getting a sweater again.
Santa


Dearest Santa,
We don't have a chimney in our house, how do you get into our home?
Love, Marky
Dear Mark,
First, stop calling yourself "Marky", that's why you're getting your ass
whipped at school.
Second, you don't live in a house, you live in a low-rent apartment
complex.
Third, I get inside your pad just like all the burglars do, through your
bedroom window.
Sweet Dreams, Santa
