These are from a book called Disorder in the Court, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Some of these are excellent - don't miss the last one. ________________________________________ Q: What is your date of birth? A: July 15th. Q: What year?

A: No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

I was in court one day and heard this for real. A guy was before the judge and the judge said to the man you have been here for this same offence six times before, what do you think I should do with you? The guy answered make it light on yourself your majesty. The judge responded with, 30 days in the County Jail, your worshipness.
