A remission concerning: Taking both armrests
For the empire of the elbows, claimed without a treaty.
$85.00 $42.50 plus shipping Marked down
Instrument IND-SOC-02
Issued under faculties presently in force, the precise origin of which is a matter of ongoing correspondence.
Be it recorded that the bearer is remitted of occupying both armrests, as if the chair beside were vacant, or as if vacancy could be willed upon a neighbour still sitting there.
The ancient right of the elbow is unwritten and therefore endlessly litigated. This Office, which litigates nothing, offers instead a modest tariff. Pay it, and the empire is forgiven, though not enlarged.
Issued under a warrant whose letterhead is handsome and whose signature remains, for the moment, a flourish without a name.
