You want a piece of me?

Professor P describes the exam:

Jack: “What makes a good exam answer? Like what are you looking for?”
Professor P: “Well, one of the questions is going to ask for a piece of you. You have to be original and creative…”
Jill: “A piece of me? Can I just attach a hair or something?”
Professor P: “Uh, I was thinking of an intellectual piece.”

Moans from the walls

Professor P gave us the strangest hypo today:

Professor P: “Jack. Lets assume that I want to sell a house, and you are my broker. And lets also assume, for the purposes of this hypo, that the house I’m selling is haunted.”
Jack: “Uh…well, since that’s not possible…”
Professor P: “Let’s assume that it is possible.”
Jack: “Okay. Well, it’s not necessarily physical defect. Ghosts aren’t damage to the property…”
Professor P: “But the moans are coming from the walls!”

Then it was Jill’s turn.

Professor P: “Now Jill, you are a consumer protection advocate. What do you say?”
Jill: “Haunting is a material fact!”
Professor P: “Is it?”
Jill: “Uh, I suppose so.”
Professor P: “Let’s suppose that the walls don’t moan that often, or that they only moan at midnight.”

Jill is not a man.

Property just got amazing:

Professor P: “The Fair Housing Act1 prevents discrimination based certain protected classes, including sex.”
Jack: “What about the YMCA that rents only to men?”
(Class engages in a collective ‘what the hell?’ moment.)
Professor P: “YMCAs still rent to people?”
Jack: “Yeah. I think so.”
Professor P: “Uh…well…”
Jill (frantically waves her hand): “WAIT! I just stayed at a YMCA, and I AM NOT A MAN!”
