ObJoke: a clergyman once wrote a letter to his bishop applying for a grant
from the bishop's discretionary fund to study in the Holy Land.  The
bishop's reply: "Go to Jericho", which sounds encouraging unless you
know that this is an (old-fashioned) set phrase meaning "Go to Hell."

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
