A snip

If you relish courtroom humor, as I do, you'll enjoy a visit to the Web 
site of Lloyd Duhaime, a Canadian barrister, solicitor, historian and 
hockey fan based in Victoria, British Columbia. Duhaime's site contains 
many entertaining legal alleyways, including one devoted to tasteful lawyer 
jokes and another, called the "Hall of Horrors," that examines the law's 
lamentable record of punishment through the ages.
The best reading corner is his collection of the "Dumbest Things Ever Said 
in Court." Spoken by real-life lawyers and witnesses and taken from 
official court records, all of the interrogations beg to be printed. But 
I'll just give you two of them, as a lagniappe.

Q. What happened then?
A. He told me, he says, "I'll have to kill you because you can identify me."
Q. Did he kill you?

And:

Q. All your responses must be oral, ok? What school did you go to?
A. Oral.
