25. If Bob says to Beavis and Tiny, "...y'all wanna come over to see my new Winnebago? My grandpappy left it to me and only me after he kicked the bucket and after we probated his estate. I hold title to the Winnebago now, boys! I decorated the interior in crushed-velvet!...", then Bob would be able to provide legal, tangible evidence of ownership of the Winnebago.

27. Beavis and Bob, buddies from the war, are shooting pool at the local billiards establishment. Down to the 8-ball, Bob tells Beavis, "if you make that shot, I'll eat my hat." Beavis sinks the last ball but Bob does not eat his hat. This is an example of an illusory promise.

While in court, Judge Tiny asks Bob if he has a license to practice law in South Carolina. Bob responds by saying, "no, but I do own a lawnmower." Judge Tiny and the South Carolina Bar will likely have no problem with this and will permit Bob to represent Beavis on the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) even though Bob is not a licensed attorney because owning a lawnmower is just as good under the licensing statutes in South Carolina.

41. An offer expires at the lapse of time as stated in the offer. If no lapse of time is stated, the offer terminates after a 'reasonable time'.

It's probably safe to say that the most important thing that the teacher of this course wants you to know is, in order to have a contract (an agreement between 2 parties for the bargained for exchange of good(s) or service(s) for money, etc.), you must have an offer and then an acceptance, and that the contract must be supported by reasonable and legal consideration.

46. Bob's brother, Rob, mails Bob a letter offering to sell him a lawnmower for $2 if Bob would just let him know that they have a deal, along with the money. Bob, facing eviction and desperate to find work, is overjoyed by the offer. He immediately places a letter in the mailbox accepting the offer along with a check for $2. Thereafter, Tiny, under the influence of an illicit substance, drives by Bob's house and smashes his mailbox with a baseball bat. The outgoing mail, including the letter to Rob, is forever lost. If Bob tries to bring an action against Rob to enforce the contract, the courts would find that Bob accepted the offer simply by placing the letter that accepted the offer and the $2 in the mailbox.
