Good stuff. I\'m tempted to have that printed up on actual Christmas cards and send them out to my friends.

LOL FTR

brings up a good point about legalese(besides the fact that I hate it)--do they teach lawyers (or future prospective lawyers) about run-on sentences??

Actually, they do. There\'s a move toward updating the language. Attorneys where I work are required to take writing classes in-house, and the style they\'re taught is more crisp.

But it\'s a good mock-out of contract language, where you have to cover all the bases.

Just teasing.

You did that really well. Are you of the legal persuasion?

Far away from that.At the moment I\'m treating a broken leg from a car accident.
Don\'t worry I\'m having a ball here.

Hey FTR,
I sure HOPE you aren\'t into that kind of thing. However, a flavor of S & M could spice up the pot.
