An obvious "Freudian slip" of the fingers. Amos, you must feel that you are not only going to "win" this lawsuit (if anyone ever "wins" a lawsuit) but are also "safe" (i.e., immune) from it. Yes, I recognize that you could easily slip over the border into Mexico to escape the inexorable (though often plodding) march of Justice but I think that you have too much old-fashioned Yankee grit. I think that you'll tough it out just as your ancestors (and mine) toughed out Ice Ages, famines, wars, plagues, poverty, carnivores, cold, rapine and other things that we, in our more comfortable Age, cannot even imagine.

Why don't you just send a check for the amount stated and we'll forget the whole thing?
