And I'm damn happy about that!
Yeah a legal "contract" can be little more than a handshake - however handshakes are hard to enforce as legal contracts. You usually have to allege "promissory estoppel" if you want a court to find a legally binding contract that is not written down, signed by the parties, notarized, etc. I'll save the Warpath lesson on "promissory estoppel" for another day.
