Subject: COURT RECORDER= tough job
Probably the best forward my mahjong has ever sent me :) Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I don’t know if i will have anything as funny as belly dancing last year to blog about, but the day is still young. At sea until Thursday, when I will be in Capetown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT CAN BE HARD KEEPING A STRAIGHT FACE AS A COURT REPORTER 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 that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. 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!
