I just took a man’s deposition who, when asked if he’d ever been arrested, said he had been for “defending my sister’s honor.”
Me: “So, you are a man who would fight for her honor?”
Plaintiff: “Excuse me?”
Me: “Will you be the hero–she’s been dreaming of?
Plaintiff’s attorney: “Objection.”
The man was from SE Asia, so I can only assume this incident involved a ring, a crowd, and several handheld noisemakers to drum encouragement. Which means he probably hurt his back fighting, not from lifting stones at work.
damn that’s funny….
I bow before the Master. I do stuff like this in court all the time, the judges are afraid to admit they notice but the clerks sometimes get up and leave.
