Friday Five – What the Heck.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jim @ 9:28 pm

If you…

1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Subs, Italian hot dogs, excellent burgers. Seafood and stuff like goose liver are out.

2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Quality booze.

3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be?
It would probably be a half-assed novel about a Drill Sergeant who teaches law. Who knows?

4. …ran a school, what would you teach?
I’d like to teach law. Torts, contracts, business law, and evidence would be fun. Failing that, I would like to teach big money executives to write a simple gott-damned sentence.

5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
Songs my dad sang and songs I’ve performed over the years,

Aren’t you glad it wasn’t the Friday TEN?

  1. I don’t know if they’re hiring or not, but I know a western school that could use an engaging Business Law teacher!

  2. Craig – Are you implying something about your professors?

  4. If you can manage to teach executives about the whole “sentence thing” you are a miracle worker!!

  5. Maybe we should start our own law school. I would love to teach legal writing & research, and could probably manage property and civil procedure as well.

    The ‘half-assed novel’ sounds like a wonderful idea. Hint, hint.

  6. “Rita and Jim’s” Law School somehow lacks the sophisticated snap of Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Then again, “William and Mary” have had some success with their place.

  7. I’d buy a copy of MSgt Jack Steele and his gott-damned teachings in a liberal law school. You really should consider a separate link to those stories, I love them.

  8. Howard,

    I like that idea, and I believe that I will give it a try, even though I always worry that, once I click tha “template” button, I may never be seen again. In addition, seeing the stripes up there every day would serve as a reminder to dust off the unfinished installment and finish it. 🙂

  9. Please do compile all those chapters into one page of access, or something like that, in chrono order.

  10. Jim,

    You gotta stop talking about food in Jersey. You’re killing me. I haven’t had an Italian hot dog in faroukin years.

    Someone did open a Jersey Mike’s Sub place in Denver this month, though. My card is allready full.
