Ba ba ba, ba Bar Review

It's that time of year again. Today is the second stop on our annual three-city tour, helping future Oregon lawyers try to remember something about federal income tax for the upcoming bar exam. Today we're on our home turf here in the Rose City -- all the fun of a captive audience for four hours, with a lot less of the freeway driving that we get with our Salem and Eugene stops.

By my unofficial count, this is the 47th time that I have given this talk over the years. Some details have changed, but it's basically the same speech. It's getting so that I don't look at my lecture notes much over the four hours. No wonder I'm insane.

Don't worry, Jack. Thinking you're insane is a sure sign of sanity. Where's Yossarian when we need him?

It's pretty good; its about 3-1/2 minutes long, but the novelty kind of runs out after the first minute and a half ...

I can still remember the soothing sounds of your voice gently reminding me of federal taxation and the rising terror that the exam was fast approaching.

"Don't worry, Jack. Thinking you're insane is a sure sign of sanity. Where's Yossarian when we need him?"

Catch 22: What a wonderful book. Nice, Bill.
