Warning: Only Funny to UMD Law Students

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a little getting-to-know-you package from UMD Law's alumni association; it's always good when they try to get their hooks into you early. However, I was puzzled by the accompanying T-shirt:

My initial reaction was, "Cool, T-shirt!" and I wore it with pride for a few days. I still wear it with pride, but now there's a bit of irony mixed in, because reactions garnered from my wearing of the shirt ranged from, "What?," to "Did you make that yourself?"

Personally, I think it's genius; "Maryland Law," is officially my new catchphrase.

Example(s):

"Hey, you did a great job cleaning those electrodes yesterday!"

"Maryland Law."

"When you make love to me it's like you're a machine spitting out pure, custom-designed pleasure straight into my amygdala."

"Maryland Law."

I think you get the idea. I hope to see everyone wearing their T-shirts around campus!

Will you ever explain these inside law jokes, Mr. Block, or are we lower life forms to be left always wondering?

Comedy, like so many other things in life, abhors being explained. Please do not take my lack of exposition as a personal slight, but as an indication of my profound respect of humor.

Understood.

Comedy may abhor being explained, but if it was never shared, what a terrible world this would be.

The irony is that it's actually funny.

I'm glad somebody thinks so; I was starting to think my sense of humor had atrophied and died during a particularly long shift.

PS I must say I loved how it was XL. Yes, b\c all law students are extra extra large. Especially girls.

That shirt is excellent. Excellent.

Why didn't I decide on Maryland Law...
