In reply to the discussion: "Do you have a New Mexico passport?" [View all]lastlib
(23,135 posts)73. I have an old story about the LA Purchase.
A real estate attorney did a title search on a property in Louisiana for a client, going back to 1803 (year of the LA Purchase). The dumb client demanded that he go back further in time, so the attorney wrote him back. Told him that in 1803 the US government purchased LA from Napoleon, who bought it from the king of Spain. The king was blessed by the Pope, who was the vicar of Jesus Christ, only son and heir-apparent of God. God created Louisana--"and I hope to Hell you're satisfied."
They walk among us.

As one with such a degree, I can't say that I've ever been ridiculed for it.
