Rules
-----
Right. Rules. The lawyers said we had to have some. They asked us what rules
we wanted.
We said we didn't really know much about rules and couldn't we just have the
same rules that everyone else has because they seem to be getting along all
right so therefore they must be quite good rules, quite effective. The
lawyers said that wasn't a problem and we could have exactly the same rules
that everyone else used but if we thought that would make their bill any
smaller then we had another think coming. We said fair enough we'll have
exactly the same rules as everybody else then and since we're paying through
the nose for it we'll have one extra rule while we're at it. And they said
all right, we suppose so, if you really must. So here they are:
