Notary admits defeat..

[Bulletproof Monk]

Another enlightening day at the Notaries office (just to recap, this guy is a 30 year practicing lawyer and chairman of the law society)

Halfway through notarising some simple documents for me yesterday he stopped and said..."You're not going to be making a habit of this are you?

Me: "Why's that?"

NP: "Well, it's just that I'm very busy, and it's not my usual job.."

Me: "Aren't you a Notary Public?"

NP: "Well, yes...but"

Me: Then you'd have an oath of office and public duty wouldn't you?"

NP: (Getting increasingly agrivated...) "Well, it's just that, well if you were to come before me with all of this nonsense, I'd have to throw you out!!!"

Me: "Well, I'd hope so.."

NP: "And I don't mean literally!"

Me..."Yes, I know what you're saying...this is all common law, and you'd have no juristiction"

NP...looking down signing..

Me: "I'm sorry, I have to keep reminding myself that personal opinion isn't admissable..."

NP: "Well we all have opinions.."

Me: "So is there a problem?"

NP: "I just think you have some strange ideas, and it strikes me as being a bit eccentric"

Me: "Do you think this is all a bit strange?"

NP: "Yes I do!"

Me: "Personal opinion...remember"

Me again: "So, anyway I thought you were supposed to be able to do the Notary Protest?"

NP: I think we're a bit far away from the port to do that...smirks"

Me: "What do you mean?"

NP: (trying to be clever) "Well that's usually for protesting ships cargo etc..blah blah blah.."

Me: "But in your Notary Manual, section 7, it states that you can protest commercial paper, such as bills of exchange, and the definition of that includes negotiable instruments and presentments..doesn't it?"

NP: (silent) "Well, it seems you know more that I do.."

Me: "Looks that way"

Me again: "So anyway, I got all these strange ideas from the Government website, I downloaded their Bills of Exchange Act, and it explains it all in there if you want to take a look sometime..."

NP: Silent again

NP: "Well, I just think you might want to ask around a bit, you know, share the wealth so to speak, I'm sure there are a number of other Notaries around..."

Me: "Well, if you're too busy, then I guess I'll have to..."

NP: "I wish you luck with it all.."

Me: Thanks. Have a nice day.

Found this while searching for more information on notarial protest.

Seems like opinion and repetitious process forms a tradition in their small brains, and then that's all they know. Talk about inbred retarded. Maybe that's why when I bring their own law into family court, the judges still freak out and fall all over themselves, committing felonies and treason, just because they can't break out of their stupor. They need an attorney to spoon feed them with mushy baby food so it's easy on their alcoholic stomachs.
