Overheard in Contracts Class

Contracts Prof explaining about unconscionability, described rent to own contracts: "You know how they work. You can rent a $89 phone for $9 a week for the rest of your life."

1L: "Why can't the renters just save their money and then buy it?"

Contracts Prof: "If you buy seeds from a company called Funk Seeds, you pretty much get what you deserve."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contracts Prof: "The phone company used to have the slogan 'let your fingers do the walking,' with this little picture of fingers walking. What is that? It's like the gang sign for the phone company!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contracts Prof: "If you see a lot of exculpation going on, you feel rather exculpatory."
