/And the real irony is that none of the waivers people might sign would be 
enforceable or binding if push came to shove since they don't satisfy the 
conditions for being a valid contract.

I tried to take a shop class through the local community college.  After 
the first night, I got a call from the school saying that I couldn't take 
the class.  Both Teresa and I were signed up for three classes each, 
several hundred bucks worth of classes.  I said that if I couldn't take 
shop class, I wanted the money back for all six classes, both Teresa and 
me.

They countered with forcing me to sign a waiver.  I grudgingly agreed, but 
realized pretty quickly I wasn't going to get anywhere in the class, the 
instructor really wanted nothing to do with me.  So I stopped going, and 
vowed that I would never sign another waiver.

I realized later that it was a stupid request.  This class was for anyone. 
Any idiot could walk in off the street, with several fingers missing from 
previous shop accidents, and take the class without signing a waiver.  But 
I had to.  Screw that!

I love some of the stories you guys have told about your spouses or 
girlfriends responses when people start talking to them.  Teresa is far 
too timid to say anything like that, typically I just ignore their 
stupidity and start answering them.  They eventually get the idea.
