    a bit of a giggle

    forgot?

    WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

    ___________________________________

    ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-one 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?
    WITNESS: Yes.
    ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
    WITNESS: Uh....
    ______________________________________

    ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
    WITNESS: Yes.
    ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
    WITNESS: None.
    ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?

    ______________________________________

    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.

    witnesses by attorneys during trials and, in certain cases, the

    he doesn't know about it until the next morning?"


    "The youngest son, the twenty-year old, how old is he?"

    "Were you present when your picture was taken?"

    "Were you alone or by yourself?"


    "Was it you or your younger brother who was killed in the war?"


    "Did he kill you?"


    "How far apart were the vehicles at the time of the collision?"


    "You were there until the time you left, is that true?"

    A: No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel.


    Q: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
    A: I have been since early childhood.

    a pulse?
    A: No.
    Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
    A: No.

    Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
    A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing
    law somewhere.

    Parihaka,

    That was hilfukkingarious. I can't quit laughing here. You don't like lawyers too much do you?
    "Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time. "

    A lawyer was out hiking with a friend when they encountered a mountain lion. The lawyer dropped his pack and got ready to run.
    "You'll never outrun a hungry mountain lion!" exlaimed his friend.
    "I don't have to outrun him," replied the lawyer. "I just have to outrun you!"
    The next day a coyote came upon that same mountain lion licking a pile of dung. "What on earth are you doing?" the coyote asked in amazement. The mountain lion looked up dolefully. "I ate a lawyer yesterday, and I'm still trying to get the taste out of my mouth."

    When two dogs fight for a bone and a third runs off with it, there's a lawyer among the dogs.

    One day a tourist wandered into a curio shop in Hong Kong. Way in the back, amidst the clutter, he found a brass statuette of a rat. It was beautifully crafted, and the man decided he rather liked it. "How much?" he asked the elderly Chinese shopkeeper. "Five dollar," the shopkeeper replied. "Hundred dollar with story."
    Five dollars seemed like a good price, and the tourist decided that he could live without knowing the story of the brass rat. So he bought it.
    As he wandered on through the streets of Hong Kong, however, the man noticed with surprise that he was not alone. Rats were emerging from buildings, the sewers, everywhere, in ever increasing numbers, and following him.
    Before long there were so many that he became genuinely frightened. Finding himself at the water's edge, the now terrified man hurled the brass rat into the bay. He heaved a sigh of relief as the thousands of rats hurled themselves into the bay after it and promptly began to drown.
    Shaken, the man made his way back to the curio shop. The old Chinese shopkeeper looked amused. "You come back for story?" he asked. The tourist shook his head. "No," he said. "I just wanted to know if you had a brass lawyer."

    Q. Why are scientists now using lawyers in laboratory experiments instead of rats?
    A. Three reasons: 1) lawyers are more plentiful than rats; 2) there is no danger the scientists will become attached to the lawyers; and 3) there are some things rats just won't do.
    (Mind you, the scientists are finding it difficult to extrapolate the results of the experiments to human beings.)

    Lesson Number One:

    A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small
    rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and
    do nothing all day long?"

    The crow answered: "Sure, why not."

    So, the Rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All
    of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

    Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be
    sitting very, very high up.

    *************************

    Lesson Number Two:

    A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to
    get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't
    got the energy."

    "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied
    the bull.

    "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of
    dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to
    reach the first branch of the tree.

    The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
    branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched
    at the top of the tree. Soon, he was promptly spotted by a
    farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

    Moral of the story:Bull Sh i t might get you to the top, but it
    won't keep you there.

    *************************

    Lesson Number Three:

    A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,
    the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it
    was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As
    the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to
    realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
    He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
    A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

    Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile
    of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

    The morals of this story are:
    1) Not everyone who drops s h i t on you is your enemy.
    2) Not everyone who gets you out of s h i t is your friend.
    3) And when you're in deep s h i t , keep your mouth shut
