In-class comment seemed funnier before said

Jed Anderson, The Stool

During a recent large section Advocacy class, 2L Mitch Henders thought he would “riff” with professor Knapp while the professor spoke dramatically about depositions. “He was talking about the amount of questions you could ask a witness, saying ‘you could have a small pool that would only get you a small number of answers, or a big pool that would get you a larger number of answers. Then he turns to me and says, ‘so young man? Which is better – small or large?’ and I heard myself say ‘that’s what SHE said!’ thinking everyone would laugh. But that’s not what happened.”

In fact, witnesses tell us that the class suddenly fell into a deep silence while Knapp scrambled for a graceful way to ease the tension. “I instantly wanted to crawl under the table when that dude said that,” said 3L Lois Martinson. “I mean Jesus Christ! What the hell was he doing?”

Exacerbating the problem was the fact that professor Grose then asked, “wait, what do you mean? What does size have to do with anything a woman would ask?”
