This is hysterical, true or not, I can imagine it happening!!!! May the saints preserve us from the idiots in control.







Part of rebuilding New Orleans caused residents often to be challenged with the task of tracing home titles back potentially hundreds of years. With a community rich with history stretching back over two centuries, houses have been passed along through generations of family, sometimes making it quite difficult to establish ownership. Here's a great letter an attorney wrote to the FHA on behalf of a client:



You have to love this lawyer........





A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the

Loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of

property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back

to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply.





(Actual reply from FHA):





"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note

that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the

able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we

must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property

back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear

the title back to its origin."



Annoyed,

the lawyer responded as follows:

(Actual response):



"Your letter regarding title in Case No.189156 has been received. I note that

You wish to have title extended further than the 206 years covered by the

present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country,

particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana

was purchased by the United States from France in 1803, the year of origin

identified in our application.


For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to

U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of

Conquest from Spain . The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of

Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus,

who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish

monarch, Queen Isabella.


The good Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles

as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her

jewels to finance Columbus 's expedition. Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is

the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world.



Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana. God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it, and the FHA. I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory.



Now, may we have our damn loan?"




The loan was immediately approved.



(These are the same geniuses charged with the

Government mortgage bailout.)
