On today's show we have a man who claims to be in possession of sections of the original US constitution. Here's his ad we saw:

The original stricken sections of the US Constitution. Never before offered on the market. Here's the material that folks like Benjamin Franklin and others didn't want in the US constitution, for one reason or another. These pages and notes have been stored away for 234 years, more or less. I am only parting with them now because our garage is full of rats and this is part of the heap of collectible (and combustible) material that they are making their nests out of. I guarantee that this material is not, I repeat, not stuff forged by me and my friends to score some easy moola. I even have some samples of John Hancock's handwriting to which you can compare these Constitution writings. What do you say, this stuff interesting? Three grand and it's all yours.

Please welcome Mr. James Jackson, the seller of the Constitution notes.

Thank you.

Mr. Jackson, first, how is it that you have such extremely valuable papers? I mean, these should be in the National Archives. Right?

Well, maybe they used to be there. I have no idea. All I know is that I have them now and I am willing to part with them for what I consider to be a bottom-line price.

Ok, ok, let's suppose these are not stolen. How do you know these papers are authentic?

They are written in the same handwriting used by Ben Franklin and John Hancock. You know. I've compared these papers' writings to other stuff everyone knows these birds wrote. They are dead-on matches.

What type of paper are these writings done on?

Ah, I don't know. This stuff is kind of brown and stiff. Looks a lot like some type of tree bark. Papyrus! Yeah, that's what it is! You know?

Do you mean parchment?

Parchment! Yeah. That's right.

Are you sure?

Parchment.

If these documents are real and they are so valuable why have you been keeping them where rats can ruin them?

You know, man, I've got lots of documents out there in stacks. I guess I just forgot I had these until I was cleaning up the other day. It was lucky for you, or whoever buys these, that I found them at all.

This is sounding more and more bogus.

Bogus, my ass!

Now, now, Mr. Jackson, calm down. Can you get one or two of the documents and tell me what they say?

Alright, I have one right here.

What is it?

Looks like a chunk of what would have been Article 34.

Article 34!?

That's what it says.

Can you read some of it to me?

I think that you may be recording this to go out and print your own edition.

All I want to hear is what type of language these writings use. Just read a few sentences, if you will please.

Well, it says here, The party of the first part may not enter into a trust without ipso facto due diligence of the party of the second part and the habeas corpus.

What? And who wrote that, Kingfish Franklin? Are you serious?

That's what the words say. Are you calling me a - Ah, are you saying that I have made this up?

Let's try another slice then. Read something Hancock supposedly wrote.

Ah, Ok. Here. Ok. The Government is not for the people if the people are acting in a bodacious manner against the taxation and representation. Signed, John Hancock. Yep.

Bull! I must say, Mr. Jackson, you have a lot of moxie. I wish you luck.

Ok. I appreciate that. May the force be with you. You know.

Sure. Let's really hear it for Mr. Jackson, folks!
