1. My father had some unhappy experiences with lawyers and policemen (implying that he got into some trouble and was punished in some way) and therefore did not like lawyers and policemen. The speaker’s use of this unashamed admission about his father’s trouble with the law is humorous.

2. My father advised me to study literature since that was what I really liked.

8. You may be… someone who is never embarrassed in social gatherings because you are so well-read and so knowledgeable (or who can embarrass others by making them appear ignorant).

9. For some reason, you find that these writers who lived a long time ago seem to know more about you than you do yourself.
