Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer.

Will Rogers
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
