Fellow law students, I present to you today a wee little test. We're all friends here, and there is no need for pressure. You won't even be graded on this. Simply consider this little hypothetical:
If you were presented with the following question, which of the following sample answers is closest to the answer that you would choose?
Professor: What is the weather outside today?
Answer A: I have no idea, but I know the weather in Paris today is sunny, clear, and warm. It rained overnight. Additionally, Paris is a lovely city with many fine cultural activities that one may engage in. Why, in fact, when I was traveling in Paris this summer, I met up with this totally hot Parisian chick and we went back to her apartment in the 4th Arrondissement, and it was raining, y'know? Did I mention she was hot?
Answer B: Well, it depends on what you mean by 'weather.' If we assume a climatological frame of reference, this so-called weather may in fact be interpreted to be an aggregation of relevant drops of moisture. That is, however, not enough to constitute a definition of weather for our purposes therefore we do not, in fact, have any weather outside today.
Answer C: Well, I don't see why you're even asking, because the weather is like totally a stinking tool of the oppressive patriarchy. Weather is unjust and causes devastation to those who need it the least. I think we can all agree that weather should be banned.
Answer D: It's hot out.
Gentle students, the correct answer to this test is D. I realize this may be difficult to understand, but sometimes economy in one's words is a helpful characteristic. If you answered A, B, or C, perhaps you should reconsider your decision to raise your hand in answer to every single question.
Thank you very much.

LMAO.....I love that question and answer. I wish some people in my law school would get that point. I am a very succinct person and if I can say it in 10 words or less I will. Most of my profs find it refreshing. They usually say that a long answer means you don't know the answer. I would have to agree.
Yes, I try to keep my comments really short as well. I don't usually mind those people who talk a lot in class, but honestly, some of them really, really need to learn to conserve their words a bit!
