phrases I did not expect to see in my law textbooks, part 937

“The buyer has received and spent all evening setting up the computer; he is sitting in his study in International Falls in his underwear with a beer when he has to decide whether to agree to the new [contract] terms or go out in the minus 30 temperature and return the computer.” –James J. White, “Contracting Under Amended 2-207″, in Mann, Electronic Commerce

  1. Go to the neighbor and ask for an Ubuntu LiveCD/install disk.

    An OS that requires all evening just to set up isn’t worth the trip anyway.

  2. The phrase was “sitting in his study”, wasn’t it?

    Obviously no on “International Falls” is going to have one of those now, are they?

  3. International Falls? Long underwear.
