Description: APARTMENTMAN/ StreetCrossing101RequiredForAdmissiontoLawSchool !! <br /> <br /> After testing the employment world for years and finding nothing worthwhile, Johnny Boring (JB), ( the mild mannered alter ego of APARTMENTMAN ), does what students without jobs have done for years. He decides to go to graduate school ! After all, what's another $100,000. in debt in this day of 5% interest rates. ( They won't go up will they ? ) Times have changed, however, and a new requirement confronts our hero of the homeless. All law schools now require that prospective students undergo a computer generated street crossing simulator exam. Undaunted, (JB) decides that he will need to take a law school street crossing prep class to ensure that he is not at a disadvantage when competing for a coveted spot at the legal bullpen of his choice. <br /> <br /> Arriving at his prep class (JB) shudders at the sight of tomorrow's attorneys huddled in a room full of computer terminals. (JB) quickly seats himself and presses the start button. His 5,000,000 pixel contributution to the Michael Dell early retirement account springs into action. <br /> <br /> 'Welcome to the law school street crossing prep course. You will be provided with a hypothetical which will be part of your law school admissions exam. The exam is designed to see if you have enough common sense and legal aptitude to cross a street alone. If you succeed, the law school admissions committee has determined that you are a suitable candidate to survive the rigors of a legal education. Please indicate your choice of answer by pressing the appropriate letter on your computer keyboard. ' <br /> <br /> HYPOTHETICAL - Your are walking along a sidewalk which is parallel to Commonwealth Ave ( A major thoroughfare in Boston, MA. ) You have on your sunglasses, and you have your I-Pod earphones in your ears with the music of choice at maximum volume. Additionally, you are talking on your cell phone to someone who is walking 15 steps behind you. You reach an intersection where three 14 wheel trailer trucks are about to careen through the intersection at 75 miles per hour. You should : <br /> <br /> <br /> A) Stop, take off your sunglasses, remove the earphones from your ears and look both ways before you step into the intersection. <br /> <br /> B) Continue into the intersection without looking and ceremoniously raise your middle finger to the truck drivers when they hit their brakes and blast their horn because, heh, you are going to be in the cross walk and pedestrians have the right of way. <br /> <br /> C) Leap into the intersection under the wheels of the truck with the logo for Microsoft on the side since you can be pretty sure that you will get a ton of money in damages from Bill Gates for your injuries. <br /> <br /> D ) Push your best friend, who has just graduated from Harvard Medical School, into the intersection while simultaneously putting the card of your law firm into his pocket as he stumbles into the path of the oncoming trailer trucks. <br /> <br /> E ) In an effort to save her, you leap in front of the 85 year old woman who, with her 3 inch thick glasses, malfunctioning hearing aid, and bamboo walking stick has not heard, nor is aware of her impending demise. You succeed in pushing her out of the way sacrificing your own life for her. <br /> <br /> Stumped, (JB) ponders his choices. Using the intellectual acumen honed through years of advanced study at the finest academic institutions in the country (JB) boldly presses (E ) and awaits the results. An electric shock courses through his body as he is ejected from his seat. The screen before him ignites like a slot machine in Las Vegas as the word 'idiot' flashes repeatedly on the 5,000,000 pixel 20 inch flat screen panel. <br /> <br /> 'We regret to inform you that, given your choice, you have no aptitude for the legal profession and may want to think about another career. ' <br /> <br /> Crushed by the immediacy of his fallen aspirations (JB) decides to seek out another career path in helping people find homes. Feel free to come along: <br /> <br /> <br />DIMENSIONS/ DESCRIPTION OF APARTMENT <br /> <br />It has: A 7 ft x 4 ft foyer which leads into an eat-in kitchen featuring new wood cabinets, gas range and plenty of counter space.
