Another email my Mum forwarded me, I'm sure you might have seen some of these before. Still funny...


Hard to believe.,.,....

Disorder in the Court

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

WITNESS: We both do.
ATTORNEY: Voodoo?
WITNESS: We do.
ATTORNEY: You do?
WITNESS: Yes, voodoo.
______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it
until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
___________________________________

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: Uh, he's twenty-one..
_______________________________________

______________________________________

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?

______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him!
______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Huh?
______________________________________

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?

WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

Laughing Truth is stranger and funnier than fiction.

Here's one I've seen.

LAWYER: "You were caught holding two flats of Coke a block away from the store and..."
DEFENDANT: "Well, at least I tried."

What man?
The man with the power.
What power?
The power of Voodoo!
Hoodoo?
You do!
Do what?
Remind me of man... and so on.

ROTFLOL.... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I've seen them a couple times before, but they still crack me up. Imagine the public gallery's or the chief justice's response to some of this shit.

Absolutely no idea where it came from. My brothers were my source, but I'm certain it didn't start with them.

Lawyer:. When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?
Lawyer: Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.

This is one I actually witnessed first-hand when I went with my friend to traffic court in Canada and had to wait through five cases:

Defendent: Now, I was coming over that damn hill...

JP: Sir, would you please watch your language.

Defendent: Sorry sir. Anyhow, I was coming over the hill, and I don't know how the hell that policeman could have seen me. He said I was doing 25 over the limit, and I know I was only doing about 5 or 10 over...

That's a song from the movie, Labrinth, staring David Bowie. It's from the 80s. It was a George Lucas/Jim Henson movie.
