ONLY AN APPLE
If a lawyer, as an ordinary individual, offered you an apple, lie would probably say, “Take an apple,” or something similar. But if he were requested to commit his offer to writing, the chances are that he would turn in something like this:— “I hereby give and convey to you all and singular my estate and interests, right, title, claim and advantage of and in said apple, together with all its rind, juice, pulp and pips, and all rights and advantages therein, with full power to bite, cut, chew, and otherwise to eat the game or give the same away with or without the rind, juice, pulp or pips, anything hereinbefore or in any other means of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.—“ The Boy’s Own Paper.”
