Bad Reputation

Song In My Head Right Now: Joan Jett, "Bad Reputation."
Why: I'm reviewing evidence law, in particular character evidence: the defendant's reputation, past arrests, etc.
Song In My Head This Morning: Prince, "Delirious."
Why: I was in a lecture review of family law.

Wait. That latter one sounds like it doesn't make sense. But it does; it makes sense because the man giving the lecture had a particular combination of formal language and bawdiness that would put any rational person in mind of Prince (illustrative lyrics: "Dig, if you will, the picture/of you and I engaged in a kiss..."). This despite the fact that physically today's lecturer was more evocative of Drew Carey twenty years from now. And the song represents the often febrile emotions of our hypothetical couple, Harry and Wanda, whom he trotted out for every possible example. Here is how he explained one aspect of family law:

"Another ground for annulment is if one spouse lied or misled the other about his or her sexual proclivities. For example, say Harry and Wanda are fiances, and though they're remaining virgins until marriage--maybe they feel like they have to, maybe they think there's something kinda sexy about waiting, whatever--they have no reticence in discussing the issue. So Wanda says, 'Tell me, Harry, how do you view the role of sex in marriage?' And Harry says, 'Well, I think it's very important. It's a beautiful metaphor for the intimacy and pleasure of marriage itself. So I would want robust, missionary-position sex as often as possible.' They get married, go on their honeymoon to Hawaii, and in their hotel room Wanda excuses herself to slip into the proverbial 'something a little more comfortable.' When she returns 15 minutes later in her Victoria's Secret negligee, she sees Harry sitting on the bed wearing a pair of Pampers and holding a bottle of Wesson oil. Now... Wanda can leave right there and nullify the marriage, because THAT is grounds for annulment. Or... NOT! Since this is one of the grounds that is waivable by the parties, Wanda, upon seeing Harry with his Pampers and his Wesson oil, could choose to waive it, and just... take things from there!"
