Last night I went to the Grand Hotel to play trivia with a couple of friends I made back in my Economics days. The trivia night had a China/Olympics theme and our team name was “The ‘Long Jump’ Forward”. Pretty good, no?

There were prizes for the best team names, but apparently ours was a little too intellectual for the trivia host and the prize was awarded to “Dude where’s my Dalai Lama”. Totally robbed!

I realise that lawyers are supposed to be extremely knowledgeable and have impressive general knowledge, but I am atrociously bad at trivia. My contribution to the team for the night consisted of guessing names of Weird Al Yankovic songs. I hope my performance in trivia is not an omen for my soon to be nascent career as a lawyer.
