-{{pe}}A coda of legal flatulence that goes without saying and is capable of almost infinite embellishment if you are prepared to put your mind to it. Try, for example “as amended, ''supplemented'', ''updated'' [[and/or]] ''augmented'' [[from time to time]]”. Perhaps toss in “[[orally or in writing]]”. There’s scope for [[For the avoidance of doubt|avoiding some doubt]] that wasn’t there in the first place.
+{{a|plainenglish|{{image|sands of time|png|''Sands of Time to Time'', {{Vsr|1981-1993}}}}}}A flatulent coda that goes without saying and is capable of as much embellishment as you have space mental capacity to apply to the task. Try, for example, “as amended, ''supplemented'', ''updated'' [[and/or]] ''augmented'' [[from time to time]]”. You could perhaps toss in “[[orally or in writing]]”, and perhaps signify a time period with that wholly redundant elaboration “[[at any time]]”. so
-[[As amended from time to time]] usually describes a [[contract]], [[statute]] or [[regulation]], will be buried in a {{tag|definition}}s section, and in truth does no real harm, but it will any offend [[prose stylist|prose stylists]] who happen to be reading. (The likelihood of [[prose stylist|prose stylists]] reading capital markets trading agreements are, however, vanishingly low.)
+{{quote|“as amended, supplemented, updated [[and/or]] augmented [[orally or in writing]] [[at any time]] and [[from time to time]]”.}}
-But the observation to make, when a pedantic counterpart interposes this phrase into your graceful text is this: “Who, in their right mind, would want to refer to an agreement, regulation, statutory instrument or other dated obligation as it exists at any date other than today?”
+There’s also, always, scope for [[For the avoidance of doubt|avoiding some doubt]] that wasn’t there in the first place.

But still.</ref>
+But the retort, should the pedant with whom you are negotiating seek to so dirty your prose, is this: “It ''goes without saying'' that it means “[[as amended from time to time]]”. Well, what kind of freak would want to refer to a [[contract]] or [[statute]] as it exists at any time other than ''at the present moment''?”
 “An {{tag|ERISA}} lawyer” is the usual response.

+Now once upon a time, I thought this [[ERISA]] gag might go silently appreciated, at least among my contrarian co-conspirators in the financial derivatives world, but it seems not. So, at the risk of explaining the joke:
