Family law: Young Miss and the Skanks

Books and notepad at Library

Today 70-year-old Professor W decided to call out Jack (aka J.D. Baby):

Professor W: “Is Mr. Jack here? Mr. Jack? Ah yes. So the footnote on page 701 reminds me of you. Are you embarrassed?”
Jack: “I’m slightly embarrassed, Mam.”
Professor W: “Well the note reminds me of you.”
Jack: “Why is that Mam?”
Professor W: “Because the litigant calls everyone Mam, just like you do.”
Jack: “Well, in my defense Mam, I did offer to call you Young Miss.”
Professor W: “Why use two words when one will do?! Besides both are equally inappropriate.”


The rampant off-topic discussion and professor’s use of the F-Bomb has also led to a total breakdown of classroom decorum:

Professor W: “Any other thoughts?”
Jill: “I think average skirt height should be a consideration in child custody determinations.”
Professor W: “What did you say?”
Jill: “Skirt height.”
Professor W: “Skirt height?”
Jill: “Yes. To see if the parent’s mates are skanky.”
Professor W: “Skanky?”
Jill: “Yes.”


Professor W then writes the word “SKANKY” on the blackboard.

Professor W: “Is this the word?”
Jill: “Yes.”
Professor W: “And what does this mean?”
Jill: “It means ‘slutty’ but it’s more socially acceptable to say.”
Professor W: “Really? Is it in the dictionary?”
Jack (Chirping in): “It will be soon!”
