The Man Room
Construction has begun on the faculty's "Man Room". If all goes according to plan, the completed 13x16 room in the basement of the main building will feature brick walls with gas sconces, weathered plank flooring and two overstuffed leather chairs. Off the right side of the room is a door leading to a small workshop. Off the left side of the room, through French doors, is a wine room with wet bar, dishwasher, humidor and bottled beer cooler. Completion is scheduled for sometime in mid-2018.
Josh and Kyle were asking about it, so I tried to help them "visualize" the Man Room by saying things like "Well first NO GIRLS are allowed in there, and it will have big dogs in it, and football on the tv, and soccer posters on the wall, and root beer in the fridge, and we can burp and spit in there if we want." Whereby Kyle chimed in "Yeah, and we can lick each other on the tongue!"
Okaaaaaay. Awkward silence.
I asked him where in the world he got that thought. His reply: "Well, guys do gross things, and that's a gross thing."
Later, I overheard him telling his niece that she should stay out of the Man Room or she might slip on our spit. Good point, hadn't thought of that. The Academy certainly wishes to avoid any situation that might spawn a lawsuit. I'll adjust the plans to include a spit trough.

Well, now. A lot of interesting info there.
1. Beware the male on male tongue licking. When Teddy was about a year old we went to the state fair. He had a wonderful time letting the big, black bull lick him all over, including on his lips and, unfortunately, his tongue. Six months later, Teddy tested positive for a TB related virus--bovine micobacteria. The cause: one male licking another male's tongue.
2. On the spit trough thing, any chance on just keeping that drain open in the basement and let it all flow downhill? Think of the savings in time and material.
3. Don't worry about the law suit from the nieces boys--familial immunity and assumption of risk. You're covered. Or, try the old standby defense: Go ahead and sue, ya can't bleed a stone.
Ooh, big black bull. Now that would look nice in the Man Room. I've seriously been looking at life-sized cigar-store Indians. PC is not one of the Academy's values.
Any law advice on familial assumption of expenses?
