Bangin'

Catching up on last season's Big Bang Theory before the new season starts, I watched "The Agreement Dissection." A long-time running gag has been the roommate agreement which Sheldon made Leonard sign before he moved in.  It's absurdly detailed and includes many fanciful scenarios.

Anyway, in this episode Sheldon tried to invoke the agreement.  However, Leonard now has a girlfriend, Priya, who's a lawyer.  She was able to find loopholes in the contract and got her "client" off, much to the consternation of Sheldon.  So he decides to play rough, and threatens to inform Priya's parents, who still live in India, of her relationship with a white American if Leonard doesn't immediately sign a new agreement Sheldon has drawn up.

Okay, it's a sitcom, but for a show that works so hard to get the physics right, they must know this contract won't hold up.  Even lay people are aware that a contract signed under duress isn't enforceable.

PS  Generally, the illustrations I choose for my posts about TV episodes are generic, but this one is taken directly from "The Agreement Dissection" and is in fact one of the agreement infractions that Sheldon brings up.
