Absent the day they taught law...

Pet Peeve #134: "You can get it off the tape, can't you?" Actually had a greenie ask me that when I tried to explain that, even though the witness is a combative hillbilly that won't shut up long enough for counsel to form a complete question, the solution isn't to try to out-shout Goober. When he asked me about the tape, I informed him that the tape isn't the record, that the dash-riddled cacophony of crap currently stinking up my screen is and will forever be the record. The other attorneys in the room incessantly tried to stop the hayseed from interrupting, but Mr. Questioner just powered through his outline unfettered.

Some days are better than others...
