MY daughter, a law school graduate, had scheduled an appointment to have her wisdom teeth removed immediately following her semester exams. After the procedure was over, the oral surgeon came into the recovery room to tell her everything had gone well and she could leave soon. Then he added, "I have to tell you, I've had people come out of anesthesia talking about just about everything -- their love lives, embarrassing moments. Some of them even start swearing at us. But you're the first patient to have ever given me a lecture on constitutional law."
