At two in the morning, cramming cross-border insolvency law (why is this a bar exam subject?!) to the sound of a thunderstorm outdoors, I am suddenly reminded of that old joke, which I heard off Just a Minute (must have been Gyles Brandreth) and which may just be collected in one of the volumes of the Transactions of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects:

Remember Noah, who managed to keep afloat a limited company while the rest of the world went into liquidation.

I really wish I told that one to Walter Woon when I was in his Company Law class.

What I need is to not budge and study insolvency law and not think about desires. What I desire, however, is grits and catfish and fried steak and cornbread and chicken on waffle and hush pups and pecan pie…
