It's a pretty weak argument, at least on what we have here, but I always found that stuff like that jumped me up a letter grade on my exams.

Sorry for turning your party into a law school exam JohnnyTitan
Fair enough I see what you're saying. And thanks for not thinking my responce was snarky, I didn't intent it to be, but alas this is the internet.

My only question would be, if you have an employement contract (which I agree with you on no doubt) would the car really be leased to the employee? I'm just thinking that if I have a company car, is the car leased to me, or to the company that I'm using as an agent of the company? (Again, I don't know the actual legal answer to this). I just think it's too much of a stretch.

Actually I don't know what law school exams are like (semester 1, year 1) so I'm just finding out, litterally right now. Good idea thinking of the stretch arguments to throw in as a side. I'll be sure to try and do that myself.


Back to the issue at hand, JohnnyTitan I guess we're saying it's fine, we think. I personally don't mean to be a party pooper, just like the debate that got started.


The real question we should be asking here is what kind of alcohol will be provided? Is there going to be enough Rum, Vodka and Tequila for all? Will there be pictures that end up on Break.com?
