Today a lawyer signed a document recording that I am sane.* He didn’t even need to have studied psychiatry to do this.

*OK, not specifically sane but at least able to understand what I was doing when I gave another lawyer power of attorney over my affairs in the event that I can’t be contacted.

I feel vaguely similar to how I imagine Dorfl felt when he was given a piece of paper saying that he owned himself and was responsible for his own actions.
