When I was in law school, one of my favorite targets were the non-accredited law schools in Alabama. I referred to one of them as the Miles School of Law and Doughnuts.
Flash forward to last weekend - Mom and I were getting pedicures. At the drying station, a woman sat down and couldn't help but overhear me kvetching about the bar. (As I am very likely to be doing, any day and any night.) She said, "Oh, my husband just passed!" After some niceties, I asked her where her husband went to law school. Birmingham School of Law (and Doughnuts!) is what she told me. I then said, "Oh, and he passed?"
Seriously, could I be more condescending? I could not believe what just came out of my mouth. I apologized, and we still ended up exchanging contact details, because it'd be cool to have a group of new lawyers who all knew each other. But still!
I do, however, manage not to contact one of my exes to say, "Glad to see you still have your scatological sense of humor." Only because it just occurred to me how incredibly bitchy that would be, when I only meant to tease him.
Check me out, figuring out that some teasing is best done with your voice and not typed words!
