    Educated beyond your Intellegence

    I have been thinking about BG statement "educated beyon your intelligence" and I couldent get it to make sense, until I saw this.


    These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are

    things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now

    published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while

    these exchanges were actually taking place.


    ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?

    WITNESS: No, I just lie there.

    ______________________________ ______________________________ ________

    ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?

    WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?

    WITNESS: Yes.

    ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?

    WITNESS: I forget.

    ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you

    forgot?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that

    morning?

    WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?"

    ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?

    WITNESS: My name is Susan.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his

    sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?

    WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-one-year-old, how old is he?

    WITNESS: Uh, he's twenty-one.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?

    WITNESS: Are you shittin' me?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?

    WITNESS: Yes.

    ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?

    WITNESS: Uh... I was getting laid!

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?

    WITNESS: Yes.

    ATTORNEY: How many were boys?

    WITNESS: None.

    ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?

    WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get

    a new attorney?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?

    WITNESS: By death.

    ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?

    WITNESS: Now whose death do you suppose terminated it?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?

    WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.

    ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition

    notice which I sent to your attorney?

    WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead

    people?

    WITNESS: All my autopsies are performed on dead people. Would you like

    to rephrase that?

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go

    to?

    WITNESS: Oral.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

    WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.

    ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?

    WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an

    autopsy on him.

    ______________________________ __________________

    ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

    WITNESS: Huh....are you qualified to ask that question?

    ______________________________ __________________

    --- And the best for last: ---

    ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a

    pulse?

    WITNESS: No.

    ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?

    WITNESS: No.

    ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?

    WITNESS: No.

    ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you

    began the autopsy?

    WITNESS: No.

    ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

    WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.

    ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive,

    nevertheless?

    WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and

    practicing law.

    Yes, but it is fairly easy to figure,
    Anyone can have an education, has nothing to do with intelligence..

    But a few have real intelligence, has nothing to do with education.

    Intelligence brought humans out of the trees and brought us to where we are today, if we were all stupid we would still be monkeys.

    Dalton, excellent examples of sarcasm. Thought that'd drag the morons out of the woodwork and, lo and behold ^
    Sad thing is he'll never understand just why his response makes him look like an idiot

    True story... this happened to my best friend in the UK (he's a Barrister, he has his own wig and gown, very imposing)

    He was acting in the defence and at a crucial stage the prosecution asked for more time as a vital piece of paper had failed to be delivered by the courier service they were using.

    He said ..... "fax it up"

    The Judge said "yes it does really"
