Think Like A Lawyer
The professor
of a contract law class asked one of his better students,
“If you were to give
someone an orange, how would you go about it?”
The student replied,
“Here's an
orange.”
The professor was outraged.
“No! No!
Think like a lawyer!”
The student then replied,
“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 notwithstanding...'
