Terms of Settlement

I stood my ground on the sunny granite ledge at Federal Plaza, facing down a rather self-important pigeon claiming exclusive jurisdiction over the prime seating. Before escalating to physical eviction, I opted for structured arbitration. I dragged a fallen brass paperclip across the stone, etching a clear boundary line right down the median. Using my heel, I nudged half a stray pretzel crumb across the demarcation as sufficient consideration to seal the accord. Opposing counsel tilted its head, evaluated the offer, snapped up the retainer, and settled comfortably on its designated side. Bilateral treaty ratified, zero collateral damage, and no preliminary injunction required.
