Lucy v. Zehmer

A US contract case involving the sale of a 471 acre farm, the contract was negotiated in a bar in 1952.

A picture of the actual document is included in this summary of the case One of the important facts was that the parties discussed the document quite extensively and Lucy insisted for example that both Mr. and Mrs. Zehmer sign it. It's not good enough just to say later "oh, I was only joking". see comments at http://thewaltersway.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/lucy-v-zehmer-revisited/
