There's a Lawyer Joke In Here Somewhere


[INT. KEELEY'S HOUSE - A DECEMBER DAY:]

[The doorbell RINGS. As Keeley goes to answer it, Alex BURSTS into the foyer.]

Alex: "WHO WANTS TO PARTY LIKE A FUTURE LAWYER?!"

Moi: "AHAAA! I heard someone just took the LSAT! Congratulations!

Alex: "Well, you know, third time's the charm, am I right?"

Moi: "YEA -...What a second, you signed up to take the LSAT three times? What happened the other two times?"

Alex: "...Pretty sure you know what happened, Keeley."

Moi: "Why would I know?"

[INT. ATHENS, OH, Spring 2010 - Two Hour Before The LSAT]

[At his desk, Alex closes his LSAT practice book. He stands to leave - the door SLAMS open, Keeley stands there grinning.]

Moi: "HEY ALEX, GUESS WHO JUST LEARNED HOW TO PROJECTILE VOMIT!?"

[Back to PRESENT DAY - ]

Alex: "It was like a terrifying human sprinkler that wouldn't stop until it hit every item on my desk."

Moi: "Are you sure that was me? That doesn't sound like me."

Alex: "PRETTY SURE IT WAS YOU, KEELEY."

Moi: "Well, what happened the second time?"

[INT. CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY, Summer 2010 - One Hour Before The LSAT]

[Alex navigates a campus building, looking for the LSAT testing room. He examines a paper, turns a corner - to find KEELEY in front of him, surrounded by a large GROUP OF PEOPLE.]

Moi: "HEY ALEX, GUESS WHO JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S A PROJECTILE VOMITING CLUB?!"

[Back to PRESENT DAY - ]

Alex: "I was in the Trauma Unit for THREE DAYS after that little display."

Moi: "Ah, so that's why you didn't go see Inception with us."

Alex: "Point being, I managed to get through the toughest standardized test in America without you vomiting on me, and I think that's cause for celebration. So if you feel like coming over later to get drunk and play Infamous, my door's open."

Moi: "...So I take it you would mind if I invited the projectile vomiting dance squad and marching band."

Alex: "...Why in God's name do those exist?"

Moi: "Oh, you should see them. The mess is unimaginable."

PS - Congrats to Alex Levin on surviving the LSAT. We raise our glasses to him.
