E-Mail is a wonderful communications tool. All too often,
however, all too often we find our mailboxes stuffed with silly
jokes, spam, and other useless junk. This section of Clips &
Snips is reserved for those rare e-mails that deserved to be
passed on.
Thanks to Mike and Carol in Nashville who sent me this
particular e-mail back in September.
Got an e-mail you'd like to share? Drop a line, I'd love to hear
from you!

A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client who lost his house in Hurricane Katrina
and wanted to rebuild. He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title
to the parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to
1803, which took the Lawyer three months to track down.
After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply:
(Actual letter)
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the
request is supported by an Abstract of Title.
"While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the
application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral
property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear
the title back to its origin."
Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:
(Actual Letter)
"Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to
have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was
unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the
property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased, by the U.S., from France in
1803, the year of origin identified in our application.
"For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S.
ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from
Spain. The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year
1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege
of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen,
Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the
precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance
Columbus' expedition. Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world.
"Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called
Louisiana . God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back to
before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope you find God's
original claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we have our damn loan?"
He got the loan.
