1. Bwahahaha!

I might have given him a pass on this if he had spent time reading the book. Seems that he needs to study it.

As part of his sentence, I would make him read it and write a book report.

2. Irony aside...

I can't really blame him given how insane the price of textbooks are.

4. Reminds me of one of my dad's stories.

Dad went to school at night on the G.I. Bill after World War II. His friend, Sam Hoover, was the mayor of Pasadena, TX in 1948. Dad convinced Sam to go to law school. Sam was incredibly brilliant, but later turned out to be a criminal.

One of Sam's memorable phrases: "Every good lawyer should steal his ethics book."
