> YOU GOTTA HAVE A LAWYER LIKE THIS
> !!!!!
> 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

> 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

> is commonly accepted, created this world.
> Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that
> God also made that part of the world

> 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

> He got
