Twist on Law Definitions

By NoReinsGirl

ADVERTISEMENTS

Trespass di bonis asportasis - trespassing on Italian words.

Lost Chattel - Sunglasses

Mislaid Chattel - Car Keys

Abandoned Chattel - Storage Units full of crap of which you've no idea the contents.

Treasure Trove - Something found at the Pirates of the Carribean ride in Disneyland.

Testator - owner of testicles.

Intervivos gift - something you take to a baby shower.

Voluntary bailee - neighbor who signs for your UPS from the shopping networks and steals it from you.

Involuntary bailee - parents whose children bring home kittens under oath they'll care for them and end up feeding/cleaning after them whilst said children (owner/possessor) ignores them or dresses them in humiliating doll clothes.
