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.
--------------------------------------------

______________________________

______________________________________
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?

______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in voodoo?
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: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Would you repeat the question?
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?

ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral.
______________________________________
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?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law. |

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." |

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

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.

How could you not get a laugh on at that?  |

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. |
