Forty-Five Left on a Boat, But Only Thirty-Six Came Back…
It’s been an eventful twenty-four hours at the Sixth International Contracts Conference at Stetson University Law School filled with contracts theory, insightful presentations, and a triumph of the human will. The Professors embarked on a one hour boat tour, but ended up waylaid on the sandbar, rather like Prof. Bruno Zeller’s pants. In Telman-style, Profs. Nancy Ota (Albany) and Emily Houh (Cincinnati) came up with some limericks in order to celebrate the adventure:
We were gathering to honor Macauley. 
Jamie Fox had planned for most folly.
But we boarded a boat
That could not stay afloat
How we wished we had taken a trolley.
They were talking of contracts in action
Until the sand caused too much traction.
Nine jumped the boat.
Others hoped it would float
After which they would sue the captain.
Jamie Fox has good reason to gloat
A great conference plus a night on a boat.
Our gratitude unspoken
A reminder to find a deep moat.
