The 80's: love or hate?

Sometimes I love the 80's sometimes I hate them. Which is sure is that they make me laugh a lot. No exception done for this fabulous blog collecting pictures from the 80's which goal is to "redefine sexy". Check it out! http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/

Which one is your favourite? I quite like the one below. Nice hair, uh? ;)

Back in business

As you can see, there hasn't been any updates in this blog for a veeeeery long time. More than 3 weeks to be more precise. That was the length of my holidays that I tried to spend as far as possible from a computer. I've managed quite well I must reckon. Hahaha!


But now I'm back and among the 240 pictures I took, I guess I can find a few to give you and idea of some of what I did during these last 3 weeks.

Attorneys

Got this mail from my cycling friend Viviana and I simply love it!

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.
Enjoy.


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: 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-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.

ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me?

ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?

ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.

ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.

-----

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 of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

-----

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: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?

-----

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..

-----

ATTORNEY TO FEMALE WITNESS: Are you sexually active?
WITNESS: No; I just lie there.
