12 Oct 15 - 02:19 PM (#3743382) Subject: BS: Semi Secret words of power in the USA From: Donuel There are phrases of near magical power when used to reply to authorities. I do not know more than a couple phrases but perhaps you know some you are willing to share. On the positive side if you are charged with a debt that brings you to court the magic phrases you say to the judge is "show me the note" If the other lawyer can not produce the original note the judge must dismiss the debt. In my case I challenged a $300 final payment on a NYS higher education loan that was sold to the private sector by a law the banks created and was resold over 50 times with extra fees called churning. At last notification the debt was claimed to be nearly one million dollars. No lawyer ever did anything for me except to Claim I could pay the debt to their firm with a 50% discount . I used the magic words in court and the 40 year old scam was over. On the dark side, you and the police share the use of a magic phrase to get away with murder. In the 32 states that passed the stand your ground law paid for by the NRA the phrase "I was afraid" or I feared for my life" is all you need to be found innocent. In other states the phrase is tempered by a reasonable man clause which sets a standard for what a reasonable man in fear would do. funny versions of power phases is too easy but if you must go ahead .Just add a couple real ones if possible. |

Always good for at least 5 precious seconds, and need NOT be said at all inviting or leeringly: "Blowjob." ~Susan |

13 Oct 15 - 09:06 AM (#3743551) Subject: RE: BS: Semi Secret words of power in the USA From: McGrath of Harlow I remember a story where someone faced with a mugger panhandled him, thus changing himself from a person worth robbing to a nuisance beggar. Whether it would work in real life is open to question, but it worked in the story. |

My impression is they leave the ketchup and mustard on the table rather than stick it on themselves. But I've never gone for places where they sell hamburgers myself. |

As for the greasy containers of ketchup and mustard on the table, I regard those in most cases as dangerous and untouchable objects. |

There's a technique with a raised hand facing forward and the words "It's all right!" which can work like Jedi magic sometimes. Even when you aren't a Jedi. Not with the professionals, but often with volunteer stewards at folk festivals and such.r |

Crusty French bread and butter with a huge lump of cheddar and a generous dose of home-made chutney, washed down with a couple of pints. |

Obviously what passes through our glorious guts is perhaps the most universal topic and common chord of cooperation between men, tribes, nations and perhaps may even narrow the suspicious divide between religions. Mudcat saves the world again. |
