We were this close to getting out of here forty minutes early, O Mister Frighteningly Pale Guy Who Day After Day Wears an Osgoode T-shirt and Army Boots, before you asked your question of the professor -- that is, when you opened your remarks with a meandering anecdote and then asked for the professor's "impressions" on the issue we'd spent the entire class canvassing, ensuring that he would reply at equal or greater length. You owe me that forty minutes.
