consists of contention, strife, disagreement and
conflicts. It’s what keeps the legal boat floating.
Commandment #8
A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
But then neither is a written contract, as I said
earlier. For most practical purposes, so what
difference does it make?
Cherish those file cabinets full of worthless pieces of
paper most people call ’contracts,’ and collect all of
them you can because they will provide you with
more work in the future.
Commandment #9
Never view anything as simple: make everything as
complex as is possible. Given more time, and a
larger fee, you can complicate anything.
And don’t worry about morals. Remember Nixon’s
axiom: “If 2 wrongs don’t make a right, then try 3.”
Nixon is also the one who said,
“If the President does it,
this means it is not illegal.”
Right! And the moon is made out of green cheese!
