While another post in the thread "What are some of your favorite all time movie lines?http://forums.uslia.com/viewtopic.php?t=4315&start=20" I came across this post and remembered a recent story I read:

FLAK wrote:Just watched Billy Madison recently and I had to throw this one in the mix.

Principal:"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Billy: "Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine."

Motion Denied Because You're An Idiot

Federal judge cites Adam Sandler's "Billy Madison" in order

"MARCH 6--In what is surely a first for the federal judiciary, a Texas bankruptcy judge has quoted from the Adam Sandler film canon in a recent opinion. Dismissing a motion due to "incomprehensibility," Judge Leif Clark cited a scene from "Billy Madison," Sandler's 1995 comedy, in a footnote to a February 21 court order. "

Studying the Billy Madison Footnote would have made Constitutional Law a much more interesting class.
