A couple of days ago, I came across a blog, anotherlamexcuse.blogspot.com, by a seemingly very angry young lady. the title of the post I have in mind was, My theory is, people are friggin' idiots...Well, one may agree with this, or not, but let's just say that, sometimes, people will give you pretty good reasons to categorise them in such..er...harsh terms.

Anyway, the following are some questions that were actually asked in real courts, along with some real answers that the said questions elicited.

(#11 is a killer...actually, all of them are.)

1. "Were you present when your picture was taken?"
2. "Was it you or your younger brother that was killed in the war?"
3. "How far apart were the vehicles at the time of the collision?"
4. "You were there until the time you left. Is that true?"
5. "So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8?" "Yes." "And, what were you doing at that time?"
6. "You say the stairs went down to the basement?" "Yes." "And these stairs, did they go up also?"
7. "How was your first marriage terminated?" "By death." "And by whose death was it terminated?"
8. "All your answers must be oral, OK? Which school did you go to?" "Oral."
9. "Do you recall the time that you examined the body?" "The autopsy started around 8.30 pm." "And, the man was dead at that time?" "No, he was sitting on the table, wondering why I was doing the autopsy."
10. "Did he kill you?"
11. "You were not shot in the fracas?" "No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel."
