Buchmeyer. This month, there was something that I thought was funny enough to share. Note that this is second-hand, friend of a friend stuff, but nevertheless should be presumed accurate and not an April Fool. ____ quoted material follows____________ Objection Sustained! From Dan Sullivan in Andrews, this trial excerpt which he received >from a friend in Alabama: The Court: Next Witness. Ms. Olschner: Your Honor, at this time, I would like to swat Mr. Buck in the head with his client's deposition. The Court: You mean read it? Ms. Olschner: No sir, I mean swat him in the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use this deposition for any purpose, and that is the purpose for which I want to use it. The Court: Well, it does say that. (pause) There being no objection, you may proceed. Ms. Olschner: Thank you, Judge Hanes. (whereupon, Ms. Olschner swatted Mr. Buck in the head with the deposition.) Mr. Buck: But, Judge. The Court: Next witness. Mr. Buck: We object. The Court: Sustained. Next witness. ________end quoted material__________________ 58 Texas Bar Journal 411, at 412. -- Eric Weir ericweir@bga.com Austin, Texas -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- WinQwk 2.0b#1298
