A: Yes. Q: Did the defendant say anything when she got out of her car? A: Yes, sir. Q: What did she say?

southsider2k5 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 That was hilarious. And I would like to add a funny story to that. My wife, I, my brother, his wife, and my wifes best friend all went to the Sox Tigers game last Saturday. During the middle of the game, my wife's best friend turned to my wife and asked her "Is this game live?" She was asking if it was being played live on TV, but the question the way it was asked had us laughing for two innings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to show you what a great sense of humor we (me and mine) have I'm going to show that to my son who is about to start law school. I know he'll get a kick out of it. I also liked the guy who called his wife "Cathy" when her name was Susan. I once new a guy who put Clinton to shame he had so many lady friends. I asked how he managed to avoid that very mistake. He told me he called them all, his wife and his many girlfriends "babe" "baby" or "honey". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
