reading between the lines
the following is an actual excerpt (selective, of course) from a contractual instrument i came across while browsing through some documents:
“(XYZ)* Joints shall mean…a joint between two pipe-like male and female members…connected together…of which the tightness is assured or increased…by deformation of the…male member forced outwardly by the internal…female member.”
uh, yeah.
i wonder how the directors ever kept a straight face when they signed the contract.
*actual brand name has been changed to protect privilege. and many red faces.
