Like my divorce lawyer told me when I was 13 years old, don’t believe anything anyone tells you until they put it in writing. I didn’t believe him, so he drew up a contract and signed it, stating that a person hereby cannot take anything spoken to be truth unless the speaker has transcribed those words and signed the document in the presence of a notary public. Then he bought me ice cream.
The bottom line is that you can’t trust anyone. Especially not your roommate. You two may have come to an agreement about sexile, but how do you know he’ll honor it when you stumble in with a hottie at 2 am while he’s 6 hours into a 48 hour Dragonball Z marathon (your roommate is a huge dork in this scenario, btw). You can’t know, and that’s why you need a contract.
The brand new Collegehumor Store’s official Sexile (Poster) Contract is just like any other contract, but way bigger. That means it’s even more legally binding.
When I was 16, I was walking home one night from my girlfriend's (at the time) like any other night. Now, as a teen, I had a shaved head, but that's as far as it goes for me looking like "a bad ass". I was super straight edge.
I got to the corner across the street from my apartment, and I was waiting patiently at the light to cross, when all of a sudden I hear the... Read More » wailers and see flashing lights coming in my direction. Two cops get out of their car, tell me to come over and proceed to start hassling me. Given where I lived (tantamount to gang territory) and the fact that I was a teen out past 11PM, this was annoying, but not a huge surprise. The first question they asked me was "where am I going?" I said home. They asked where home is, and I could point to my window from where I was standing. That wasn't good enough. They decided they were going to demand that I "empty my pockets on the hood of the car". I refused, at which point they accused me of having something to hide. But what they didn't know was that I was taking classes in Canadian law at my high school, and had already covered the section on statutes on search and seizure and probable cause. So I told them flat out: "Give me your badge number, and I'll empty my pockets. And, when you find nothing there, I'll be down at your station tomorrow with a lawyer and I won't leave until I have your job because I gave you no probable cause to stop me, let alone undergo a search and seizure of my personal belongings. And if you don't like it, fuck off".
Needless to say, they got back in their car and told me to go home. And I did, smiling.
