Abie, the somewhat shy and retiring gentleman who lives a bit southwest,
sent this one about courtroom testimonies...

These are from a book called, Disorder in the Courts and are things people
actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court
reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were
taking place.
