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...'"
