My apologies if you have seen this via e/mail, it's been doing the rounds for a while, but is good for a laugh.....
COURT PROCEEDINGS
These are from a book called Disorder in the Court, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters, which had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
