A few years back I owned a small firm which I was about to liquidate and pocket the proceeds from. A friend offered to buy it. Being a friend, I suggested a price of $1. BUT ...

17/ In zoning dispute, I told neighbor stakes were in the wrong place. I showed him the zoning code. I offered to pay for logging to take down trees so he could relocate. I offered $6k in cash. I went over to increase cash offer, and was sworn at. OK, lawyer time. Code duello.
