| give someone
an orange |
One day
in Contract Law class, a Professor asked one of his
better students, "Now, if you were to give someone
an orange, how would you go about it?"
The
student replied, "Here's an orange."
The
professor was livid.
"No!
No! Think like a lawyer!" the Professor instructed.
The
student then recited, "Okay, I'd tell him, 'I hereby
give and convey to you all and singular, my estate
and interests, rights, claim, title, claim and advantages
of and in, said orange, together with all its rind,
juice, pulp and seeds, and all rights and advantages
with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise
eat, the same, or give the same away with and without
the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before
or hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments
of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary
in anywise not with standing..." |
