Am primit ceea ce voi posta mai jos pe email, de la un prieten din State, acum ceva timp in urma. Sunt in engleza, dar am sa presupun ca majoritatea userilor din comunitatea mioritice.ro vorbesc sau inteleg engleza. Daca nu, voi face un efort si le voi traduce.

So apparently, these things happened for real in Court. Sad… sad… story below:

ATTORNEY: Your present condition, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in which 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?
WITNESS: …did you actually pass the bar exam?

——————————————-
ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20 year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ.

——————————————-
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me? [LoL]

——————————————-
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 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: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? (appearance inseamna fie prezenta — care este sensul din intrebare — fie stil de a se imbraca al cuiva — care este sensul din raspuns)
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 of them. The alive ones put up too much 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 PM.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.

——————————————-
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. [m/]
