I was playing on an awesome author's - Ashlyn Chase - Yahoo! Group the other day and I saw this. I literally started to LOL. You need to read this! Beware though, your gonna need to put down your coffee so you don't spite it at your screen!

Enjoy a good laugh! 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 that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place..
ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?
WITNESS: No, I just lie there.
______________________________
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does
it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it
affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget.
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an
example of something you forgot?
___________________________________________
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: He's twenty, much like your IQ.
___________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your
picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me?
_________________________________________
ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of
the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at
that time?
WITNESS: Getting laid.
____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a
different attorney.
Can I get a new attorney?
____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage
terminated?
WITNESS: By death.
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it
terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.
____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Can you describe the
individual?
WITNESS: He was about 20, medium height,
and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town,
I'm going with male.
_____________________________________
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your
autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put
up too much of a fight.
_________________________________________
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: If not, he was by the time I
finished.
____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a
urine sample?
WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that
question?
______________________________________
And the best for last:
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: I see, but could the patient have still
been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have
been alive and practicing law.
Oh, thanks for the great laugh--I can believe that somewhere out there, liars (I mean, LAWYERS) have said that.
