because it’s most important. It says, “The party of the first part shall be known in
this contract as the party of the first part.” How

— No, it’s no good. Let’s hear it again.
— “The party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the party of the first part.”
— That sounds a little better this time.
— Well, it grows on you. Would you like to hear it once more?

— Hey, wait, wait. What does this say here?
— Oh, that? That’s the usual clause. That’s in every contract. That just says, “If any of the parties participating in this contract is shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified.”
— Well, I don’t know...
— It’s all right, that’s in every contract. That’s what they call a “sanity clause.”
— Ha ha ha ha ha! You can’t fool me! There ain’t no Sanity Clause!
