My desire to attend law school has nothing to do with the fact that I was recently fired from my job as an analyst at an investment bank… Since January, I've … played Spider Solitaire 434 times and updated my Facebook status, on average, five times a day.

(I feel most sorry for Whit, who's from Cleveland)…And a commercial for some sleazy diploma mill. HT: KH
