One day in Contract Law class, Professor Jepson 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!"
After a moment, the student replied: "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..."
