The First Law of Engineering

The premise that 1) Anything can be fixed by hitting it with a hammer, and 2) If you cannot fix the problem, you do not have a big enough hammer.

"It's The First Law of Engineering, Leonidas,” Granadica sent. “If you can’t fix it, you’re not using a big enough hammer.”

Baylor Law School

Where Christian fundamentalists go to law school to learn how to deprive rights, persecute others, coerce contracts, file frivolous suits, impose harsh sentences, and scam the courts in the name of so-called "religious freedom" in secret boot camps that other law students don't know about.
Jew:" He's actually arguing that he his religious freedom gives him the right to harass and kill Jews and gays!"

Gay: Oh my, he must have gone to Baylor Law School. God speed!

The Baylor Law School prosecutor said "sign here and confess, right now, or else they're gonna impose serious consequences and add another charge. You don't want that do you? Sign here."

The Baylor Law School Judge's ruling was: "Because the defendant was smoking a fag in a school zone, we're imposing the maximum sentence of 20 years to send a clear message to the public that "smoking fags" on school premises is a serious offense."

I wish I could get into Baylor Law School.
