Legal Orange

[Guest guest]

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...'"
