I read allot of property leases, they are long, they are boring and they have very little, if any, punctuation. They are written not to be interesting, but so they can not be misinterpreted, so the meaning of the wording is immutable. Huge amounts of money are spent drawing these things up and people still end up in court arguing about 'the wording'.

The law is all about words and it is The Word that makes up the basis of all the monotheistic faiths in the world. The word is God's law and can be found in a number of journals: The Torah, The Bible and The koran are popular. The problem is God didn't have very good solicitors and there has been rather alot of dispute about the interpretation.

Thankfully for anyone wanting to live their lives by the example of Jesus Christ, John has done you a massive favour and slipped a sweeper clause into the Bible, right were all the best sweeper clauses live; the last verse of his Gospel's last chapter:

John 21:25*

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

So you can imagine, Jesus managed a small vineyard, solved crime for a bit, had a Buddist phase, drew satirical cartoons for a newspaper, opened a manicures and pedicures salon, entered politics, became a sailor, was a cowboy, had a gay phase, did some voluntary work and was crucified. Amen.
