We've all had those days where we have to fight cracking up in the middle of the proceedings. When I saw on the notice that the lead defendant was a colonic irrigation clinic, I knew it was going to be one of those days.

The first lip-biting occurred as the South American witness was describing the conversation she had with the plaintiff regarding the plaintiff's chronic constipation. The witness related that the plaintiff attributed her years of discomfort to the fact that her mother used to say, and this is a quote, South American accent and all, that "issa no sexy to poop." Follow that up with protracted testimony about where she put the sheet (talking about the cloth used to cover up clients, but with the accent, it was hard to tell), and you've got a roomful of us sputtering and snorting, trying to hold back hysterics.

After months of Enron depos, this definitely qualifies as a refreshing change.
