**Humorous Anecdotes**

As you go through life, funny things happen, and it's good to reflect on and share those stories with others. Laughter is good medicine. So I would like for us to share some funny anectodes. I have a couple of courtroom stories, but right now, I will only share one, so I can give you all a chance to share yours.

A few years ago I worked in the Associate Circuit Court. Often times I would be called upon to record a misdeameanor trial. On this one particular day, the defense attorney was attempting to prove that his client was wrongly accused  and innocent of a DWI. So the defense attorney, (I'll call him Paul) was questioning his witness, the patrolman who had made the traffic stop. In his line of questions he asked, "Did you administer the sobriety check?" and "What were the results of the sobriety test?" and then he asked "DID MY CLIENT HAVE SPLURRED SEECH"....The judge had to call a recess while the laughter in the courtroom died down. Even the judge couldn't help but laugh.

So, what's your story?

Send it into Reader's Digest...they pay $.

You think it's good enough?

I had to read several times before I saw the humor in it.  Our minds are able to read without seeing all the letters so I had to read slowly to get it.
Jeff

I still dont get the humor but then again I only read it once maybe I should try reading several times.

Did my client have splurred seech?"

that should help ^

I definatly missed the splurred in it and just read over it as slurred hehe thanks............

Good one, Pam.

Angie - don't feel badly...I had to read it through 3 times to catch it.

Like Jeff said...our brains "correct" the error...I've read that if the first and last letters of a word are in their correct positions the middle letters can be scrambled and our brains will go ahead and decipher the word...which certainly explains why it is so hard to proof-read anything!

Now I wish I had a funny story to share!

JJ

Yeah that was a good story i just wish maybe that one word was highlighted for me because duh i certainly didnt see it that way.......I have no stories to add either but I always like hearing pam's they are good.

Read quickly.

Jeff, maybe you should just start typing like that on here all the time. It might give way to a whole new thread of people annoyed by someones spelling or grammar mistakes :)

Funny story for you (it's funny now, not so much 15 minutes ago...)

Just FYI...don't mix sparkling water with Splenda...

I tried the fancy Raspberry-Lime sparkling water in the cafe, because it looked interesting...well, it didn't taste so interesting, or even good to me, so I decided it needed something sweet added to it...

Enter packet of Splenda here...

Apparently this causes some sort of chemical reaction which makes said bottle of fancy sparkling raspberry- lime water explode like a volcano...not so fanc-ily....all over me...all over my desk, papers, keyboard, into my purse on the floor (...and so on, etc etc...)

So yes, point of story...avoid doing that.

Thought if you didn't get a tiny chuckle out of this, at the very least you would be warned not to mix the above mentioned substances, for maximum dryness of you, coworkers and all things in the general vicinity around you. This has been a public service announcement brought to you by me.

Hope your day's going well!

LOL!  Love the laughs!  Too funny Pam.. and hmarcos!  And laughing my hiney off at Jeff!

At first I thought you said you worked at Circuit City, lol. Working at a COURT makes much more sense :-)

Here's another courtroom story that the men would especially appreciate:

One day while I was recording a misdemeanor trial in the associate circuit court, the judge was following a list of defendants made by the prosecutor. He took each defendant one by one, finished their trial, and then came to this one particular name. He looked for the file, and looked more for the file. You see all the files are gathered together by the clerk of the court and put on the judge's bench. So, after looking a  number of times for this one particular file, the judge said rather loudly to the prosecutor and in an exhasperated tone, "MR PROSECUTOR, I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MY JOHNSON."
There was not a dry eye in the house. The judge had to wait until the laughter subsided and everyone regained their composure.

Thats hilarious pam! My Johnson hehe so much funnier if a judge makes mistakes than just any old regular person.

I agree Angiethe1. To see a judge embarrassed like that makes it even funnier.

Anybody else have some stories?

Great story, Pam!

 I have many, but they all seem to be the ones where you just had to be there! :(

LMBO!!  Too funny Pam... poor guy!  LOL!  Wish I could think of one to share...all mine seem lame!

Here's one I've shared on another thread:

Six yr old Sara asked if Grandpa and I were married, because she'd like to be my bridesmaid. I explaned that she'd need to be 16 yrs old, so perhaps we'd get married in 10 yrs. After a moment's hesitation, Sara annouced "Too bad, by then Grandpa will be too old!"

 

Krisma, that is just to cute and way to funny=)
