I had a Torts prof who used to say, "when you're at a cocktail party and someone won't stop asking you questions about his legal issues, just yell 'res ipsa loquitur' and walk away."
Of course, he never practiced a day in his life, cloistered academic as he was, so I figured he was pretty much full of $%^*. Easy to talk the talk when you've never even stepped foot in a courtroom.
