My uncle the law school dean at Kansas U, told me that if a man's word
is no good, neither is his contract. Also said a verbal contract is
worth the paper it is written on.

All contracts are verbal. I assume he meant an oral contract.

Interesting nit-pick. But current usage allows verbal to mean oral
among several other meanings. (COD)
So it's an academic distinction.
