I think we need these from time to time. They’re just so funny!
I remember a night I covered a Marlboro Council meeting, and one of the persons who’d signed up for “citizens’ voice” tried to come on as the next Perry Mason. He proposed to cross-examine his wife: “Did you, or did you not…?” Two more minutes and the audience would’ve started throwing chairs at him.
The lawyers in these examples ought to be in sitcoms. They’re wasted in the courtroom.
I have that book, and every time I reread it, I crack up. In fact, the same thing happened just now when I read the samples you quoted. 🙂
Some real beauties here. And lawyers wonder why they have a bad reputation.
