April 1 Antitrust Notes

By David Fischer

The American Antitrust Institute reports the ABA Section of Antitrust Law has been sued by the American Anti-Rust Institute:

Washington attorney Timothy J. Muris, speaking at a gathering of the ABA Antirust Section, declared that confusion between rust and trust is easy to explain, in that the recent evaporation of the nation?s secretarial pool has left communications dependent on many people who simply cannot type accurately. He argues that rust came first in time, when oxygen found its way to the planet Earth, possibly from alien sources. Because trust emerged as a viable concept only much later, in or around1980, the anti-rust organization has the prior right to its name and the confusion sown by the antitrust movement can only be stopped by enjoining use of the word ?antitrust?. He acknowledged that his organization has been conducting secret intelligence operations against the Antitrust Section in preparation for this assault, which he justified by his client?s motto, ?Be antirust but verify.?
