The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “"It is well settled that a party in the litigation may serve as his own `credible witness' in fulfilling the requirements of this article. Ville Platte Concrete v. Western Cas. & Sur., 399 So.2d 1320 (La.App. 3d Cir.1981); O'Rourke v. Tracy, 375 So.2d 747 (La.App. 4th Cir.1979). As to the requirement of `other corroborating circumstances,' only general corroboration is required. Independent proof of every detail of the agreement is not necessary. Samuels v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 342 So.2d 661 (La.1977); Ville Platte Concrete v. Western Cas. & Sur., supra."”
