For further law school entertainment, might I recommend:
- Mackensworth v. American Trading Transportation Co., 367 F. Supp. 373 (1973) (the entire opinion is in verse);
- Cordas v. Peerless Transp. Co., 27 N.Y. Supp. 2d 198 (1941) (peerless prose);
- Lason v. State, 152 Fla. 440; 12 So. 2d 305 (1943) (you'll know why when you read it); and
- James D. Gordon III, How Not to Succeed in Law School, 100 Yale L. J. 1679 (1991).

The Satan case is fantastic - one of my professors last year slipped it into the week's reading as entertainment.
If the
Lason case is the one I'm thinking, it's easily one of the top 5 most disgusting cases ever (at least, the fact pattern was disgusting). Is it the one about the active old-timer?
