Thinking...
A handshake. A spoken promise. They once meant something. Of course, a lie meant about 120 grains of Pb slamming through you.
Nowadays, a piece of paper provides the promise, with a lawyer as it's enforcer.
Though I never was there, I miss the days of old...
Posted by That 1 Guy at March 29, 2006 11:12 PMI too often wish for the days of a handshake "meaning" something. Not quite willing to give up indoor plumbing and the like to go back there, but then again, I'm a girl...
Posted by: Richmond at March 30, 2006 05:21 AMA handshake still means something... depending on the honor of the person...

Posted by: Ogre at March 30, 2006 06:55 AMI like the handshake and spoken promise, too. And it IS still enforced today...so long as there is a witness...sad but true.

So what's the latest on the job front???
