Some professors who've never been in practice habitually brandish the words "in legal practice" around, and then launch into theories of theories of yet more theories of law.

On the receiving end, the feeling is like being strapped against your will onto an Event-Horizon-esque rocket and then being blasted into la la land.

That's why I never understood why people would pay a couple of million bucks to get jetted into space as a space tourist. I get to experience the spaced out feeling everyday at a fraction of the price they pay. Damn, I'm one lucky dog.
