" By the time you have to prove it..." This preface statement applies to so many things in life.
My sister in law (SIL) is a realtor (not pronounced " real LA tor" its pronounced correctly as "real TOR" called me last night in a panic. She has some trouble brewing with a client/home seller who wishes to back out of a contract closing a property this week. The seller says she was forced into signing the sales agreement; right. You betcha. Having been in the purchase contract thing for many years, she felt I was a good shoulder to cry on. I was, but also helped her get the order of things down. By the time you have to prove it it's too late.
The seller is an agent herself, so the SIL feels that she could “prove it" that this gal knew what she was doing. I had to give her the straight talk that by the time you have to prove it, it's too late, your life is really complicated, lawyers have been called, and court dates are set.
Sort of like I explained to my son that by the time the cop has you walk the white line one foot in front of the other, or recite the alphabet, the decision is made to haul your ass in on a DUI. Can you imagine? A cop says, " well Jimmy, you walked the white line toe to toe, and recited the alphabet perfectly front and back wards, so the fact you were weaving all over the road, and you smell like a brewery, I gots to let you go" Yea right... You’re busted, son! The walk and the talk is just to expand the cop's evidence list!
