Page 41 - Lawyer Humor PUB_Neat

“Sir, did you or did you not, on the date

in question, or at any time previously

or subsequently,

say or even intimate to the defendant,

or to anyone else for that matter,

whether friend or mere acquaintance,

or in fact a stranger,

that the statement imputed to you,

whether just or unjust,

and denied by the Plaintiff,

was a matter of the moment or otherwise?

Did you or did you not?”
-

Again, the reply of the witness was simply,
“Huh?”

Lawyers are a different breed of human being.

First of all, we are unbelievably detailed. This can

be seen by the nature of the court room questions

we just looked at, as well as by the example of

giving the orange away, as we saw.
-
One lawyer I know is so detailed that he proofreads

Xerox copies against the original.
