Some business and enterprises humor...

While Dad was reading his IP reading, I decided to page through his cases in Business and Enterprises. I came across this passage and, although sort of sad, it made my ears fly up. Unfortunate wording, perhaps, by the judge. Here it is:

"In effect, the purported loans were simply misappropriations by the two sons. After the discovery of the misappropriations and the consequent insolvency of the corporations, Mrs. Pritchard died."

Poor Mrs. Pritchard. This tale is almost as fun as last year when I spent 3 weeks figuring out the facts of Pennoyer v. Neff. Speak of tying your ears in a knot.
