— Pay particular attention to this first clause
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
do you like that?
— 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?
— Just the first part.
— What do you mean? The party of the first part?
— No, the first part of the party of the first part.

— 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!
