if i could only get my trial prof to tell us to mime "gay" to the jury...

i was in advanced trial class this afternoon, and the professor was giving us feedback on our jury selection questioning exercise last week. he was remarking that i talk way too much with my hands. that was true...so true.

he then starts to talk about the fact that it's okay to use your hands to point out really major things that you are saying. he tells us that it is not okay, of course, to point at people in the jury box while you are talking. he then suggested a hand gesture.

he put his hand in a fist, put his thumb on top, with the tip pointed up just a bit, and bounced it up and down purposefully.

of course, all i wanted to do was make the "large, loud, boisterous, gay attorney" gestures. i didn't. but, i did start giggling in class. i'm sure everyone else was confused...but it made sense to me.

Is my intellectual property being infringed?

well...my advanced trial prof (who, by the way, is NOT the one who shares your first and last name--he only teaches the class in the spring) is large, loud, and an attorney...but is not gay, and can't fairly be called boisterous, either.

I'm a little worried to claim this, as I am sure some mocker will disagree, but I'm pretty sure Turtle and I pointed that out to Joshie as the perfect hand sign for 'attorney'. My dad uses it a lot. And then I laugh at him.
