I usually don’t go to the bathroom during the fourth quarter, but I’m getting a little older, and the bladder is a little more active these days.

This is small — for everybody but me. When you hurt your knee, you feel it every day.

— Legal luminary Alan Dershowitz, commenting on the the lawsuit he recently filed against TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, for injuries he sustained during a slip and fall in the bathroom during a Celtics game. Dershowitz is being represented by Alex MacDonald, one of his former students.

(Dershowitz’s complaint alleges that “[t]he bathroom at this time — and plaintiff believes for at least 60 minutes before his entry into the restroom — had no paper towels to allow male patrons to dry their hands post washing of them. This dangerous condition allowed water from the recently washed hands of each of the myriad bathroom users to drip or be ‘shaken’ onto the floor, negligently creating a hazardous situation for all users.”)
