One Bible is sufficient

I saved these for quite a while. They are worth revisiting. Supposedly from actual court proceedings. You be the judge, pardon the pun.

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: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

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?

Wayne, maybe GeorgeB will take the bait and be another one of you happy customers... I know I am!
I am very happy you are, too! Your support is well appreciated, Doc. It must be hard to forget about me around your house......
@GeorgeB said in Artist on BOARD:
Oh, yeah, Wayne, that is fantastic. I have experienced moments like that when on overnight trout fishing trips. It really comes alive for me.
Thank you, George. I'm glad you relate to it!
It might be about time I show a new one, maybe?
I have been bouncing this one around in my head for some time but when it came down to it I got right at it.

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.

Well, here’s something you will either like or not.
I think it's true. Like Moby Dick.
I heard this story while visiting Boise, Idaho more than twenty years ago. Here’s what I heard: an inmate was released from the Idaho State penitentiary there in Boise Idaho. Arthur ( Something ) was his name, and he had done quite a number of years in the slammer. Having no employable skills, he tried to get some work, but when he struck out so many times he finally took a job to rub someone out. With no experience, all he could negotiate was one dollar for the job. He was informed that the victim did their grocery shopping on Tuesdays at the M&W market on Broadway. He made his plan to wait in the parking lot of the market. He would simply use his bare hands, since he had no funds to get a real weapon. The victim came to her car with a cart full of groceries, and Art made his move and put his hands on her throat and strangled the victim. He knew he would get his payday now. Just then another concerned citizen jumped in to try to rescue the woman but alas, he strangled him as well. Arthur was immediately apprehended by police who quickly arrived to the location.
The next day the headline on the crime section of the Idaho Statesman said: ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A DOLLAR AT M&W MARKET!

What did you mean by "sky"?
Ahhhhhhhh my personal editor is back!
Hahaha
@Dr-GO said in A little humour:
grune, sadly this is true. When I was a graduate student at Colorado State, I would sky often at Copper Mountain where there would be large groups of "tourists" coming up to sky our Rockies. I rode a lift with a College student from Texas hitting the slopes for the first time, and I was reassuring him how great the snow was in Colorado. He said, Oh, sure, not surprising since Colorado was right on the border to Canada.
What did you mean by "sky"?

@BigDub said in A little humour:
You mean, North Dakota?
I do... butt you gotta admit, this is a more southern exposure
Uh.......last I checked, Canada looks to be North and continues in that persuasion.
I actually have some friends in Canada. All work for Universities. Sasquatch is not involved in any of this.
@Curlydoc said in Phony players:
@BigDub Wasn’t Klink’s brother a famous conductor?
I think I remember that being the storyline.
The way he played Klink was brilliant, in my opinion. I understand that was the only way he agreed to do the part.
