Student Can't Decide Which Bullshitty Question is Bullshittiest
I don't have the time to re-type all of the possible contenders for bullshittiest question. I have narrowed it down to three.
1) Recording statutes + long list of conveyances, reconveyances, bad faith purchasers, bona fide purchasers dying intestate, etc. some of whom do and some of whom do not record and some who record, but in the middle of a chain of bullshitty conveyances.
2) All of the above, plus there are mortgage holders and assignees who may or may not record.
3) Battle of the Forms.
Here is my favorite bullshitty question today:
On March 1, Armani mailed Bashford a written letter offering to sell a specified quantity of shirts at list price. Bashford received Armani's offer on March 2. The next day Bashford mailed Armani a letter of rejection. Bashford then changed his mind and decided to accept Armani's offer. On March 5 Bashford mailed a letter of acceptance to Armani. On March 4, Armani sent Bashford a letter revoking his original March 1 offer. On March 6 Armani received Bashford's
accceptance. On March 7 Bashford received Armani's letter of revocation. The following day, Armani received Bashford's rejection.
Armani refuses to sell the shirts to Bashford. If Bashford sues for breach of contract, judgment
for whom?
(a) Bashford, because he mailed his acceptance before receiving notice of Armani's revocation.
(b) Bashford, because Armani received his acceptance before receiving notice of Bashford's rejection.
(c) Armani, because Bashford mailed his rejection before depositing his acceptance.
(d) Armani, because he mailed his revocation before receiving notice of Armani's acceptance.
(e) They should both be shot.
In better news, new pics of The Adorable Niece have arrived! I wish I was hanging out with her instead...

Soon it will all be over, young grasshopper, and you can have your life and your sanity back. Oh except for the fun of waiting two and half more months to find out if you have to do the damn thing all over again.
P.S. bring something to read to the swearing-in ceremony.
