People ask me why I like law…okay in reality no one has ever asked me that, but there’s a voice in my head narrating my life story in which people will ask me why I like law…and then I will point them at this:
“Each at times conceals his strength beneath ordinary clothing but after removing his cloak stand revealed in full panoply in skintight acrobatic costume.”
Extract from a 1940 case Detective Comics v. Bruns Publications, showing the striking similarities between the characters of Superman and Wonderman.
You can just imagine the judge who wrote that opinion constructing that sentence, filling it up with words like ‘panoply’, ‘skintight’ etc and thinking severely, ‘In all seriousness, after all, both of them do wear tights!’

That’s a pretty hot and nerdy answer for a hypothetical question that nobody has yet asked.
I’m going to start asking everyone around me on the off chance that you will get to tell this story to a real person.
Be on the look out for anything that sounds like ‘captain tightpants’, as I am more than likely to mumble and shrug in real life
Haha…that’s rich! Realism I think they call it.
like the smileys weren’t enough
