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 notwithstanding..."
