Passing in the Bar Application

This is an actual amusing story.

On Monday, I passed in my Massachusetts Bar Application at the John Adams Courthouse. Being a law student, I was carrying every thing_ books, laptop, bag of school supplies, lunch, etc. As I am going through security, the guard asks me to take everything out of my book bag because something looked possibly sharp - it was my mini westlaw stapler located in my bag of school supplies. Of course, this was at the very bottom of my bag.

Further, I was asked to empty my tote purse - why because of my lunch. Specifically, the fork I use for lunch.

A fork is a weapon and necessitates a weapon receipt. In filling out the weapon receipt, it requested nature of weapon: fork for lunch. I then passed it into the guard's keeping.

After I passed my application, I retrieved my fork.
