My wife and I once asked me if credit unions could call themselves banks. Bullshitting, I answered: "definitely not, but they probably can use it as a verb". Then I looked it up:

I was completely right, which stunned me. I think I can count on one hand the times I've bullshitted like this about the law and been wrong, too. I understand everyone's grizzled and disenchanted with the law and legal profession, but this is fun and joy-inducing, imo.
