as much as i hate barbri, and as much as i hate contract law, the guy giving our lecture: David Epstein, from Southern Methodist, is an awesome, hilarious lecturer. not only are some of his hypotheticals [which i'll post later, when i have the book in front of me] are downright hysterical. today, he was discussing why a writing saying that one guy would do one thing was insufficient to memorialize a contract under the statute of frauds. in order to explain that both parties' names and oblications must be on there, he stated:

"there is no masturbation in contract law. there are always two people."

now you'll never forget that there must be at least two parties obligated under a contract. i sure won't.

you all know who billy mays is...he's the loud bearded guy who does all the ads and infomercials for oxyclean, zorbeez, kaboom, and all those other crappy home products. i was watching fox reality channel1, and you'll never guess what he's hawking now: health insurance.



i find something classless about a loud infomercial talking head hawking insurance. there are certain products that need to be marketed in a careful, classy manner...and insurance is one of them. there's a certain level of trust that you have to have in an insurance company, trust that i would never be able to put in a company that allows this guy to shill for them with brilliant phrases like:

"when i say affordable, i mean you can actually afford it!"

such a brilliant observation reminds me of the lyrical stylings of king wing, da stl baby daddy.2
