More Crazy Lawyer Gaffes #7 is this week’s Mystery Question. But first, the photo and verse. I want to thank Tim Johnson again for such an interesting and beautiful photo. I love the bee in the center of the rose, and thought the verse fit it well. Such a pretty rose.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question–More Funny Lawyer Gaffes #6. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- Q: “Could you see him from where you were standing?
A: “I could see his head.”
Q: “And where was his head?”
A: “Just above his shoulders.” - Q: “What is your marital status?”
A: “Fair.” - Q: “Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?”
A: “You did not seriously just ask me that…”
Q: “I did.”
A: “Evidently not enough, since you’re still here.” - Q: “Were you acquainted with the deceased?”
A: “Yes sir.”
Q: “Before or after he died?”
And the answer is…#3 Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s Mystery Question–More Funny Lawyer Gaffes #7. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- Accused, acting as his own council: “Did you get a good look at my face when I stole your car?”
- The Court: “Now, as we begin, I must ask you to banish all present information and prejudice from your minds, if you have any.”
- Q: “Did he pick the dog up by the ears?”
A: “No.”
Q: “What was he doing with the dog’s ears?”
A: “Picking them up in the air.”
Q: “Where was the dog at this time?”
A: “Attached to the ears.” - Lawyer: “When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?”
Other Lawyer: “Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.”
Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a Shattered Sanctuary by Nancy Mehl.
In case you can’t tell, I listened to a lot of Country Music growing up (and beyond lol), and this song by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty was a favorite! I hope you enjoy!

Hi Gail! We’ll see…
I will guess #2. Beautiful picture. My irises and roses and peonies have buds but no blooms yet.
Author
Aww, Paula, my mother-in-law had the most beautiful peonies and irises…I miss them! We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
That’s a great pairing of Scripture with my photo. Thank you, Pat.
I’ve always liked that Country song. I must confess, growing up in Michigan, I was not a big Country music fan, but as I’ve gotten older, I come to enjoy that music as much as other genres. Folk music was my favorite way back in middle school and high school.
I’m with Barbara regarding what to do with these lawyers!
#1. You know what they say about a person who acts as his own lawyer.
#2. Wait what? That last part about if I have a mind?
#3. And people wonder why dogs bite.
#4. For this one, I’ll supply the bullets.
I’m going to say you made up #1.
Author
Hi, Tim and thanks again for your beautiful photo. Love your logic. They make me laugh almost as much as the dumb lawyers. We’ll see if it’s #1 next week…
Speaking of lawyers, Cara Putman’s new book, “The Accused” is excellent.
Author
I have it on my Kindle, but don’t have time to read it until I get these edits in!
#2!
Author
We’ll see, Joy!
Loved photo and verse,number two.
Author
Thanks, Judy! We’ll see…
I think #3 is the one you made up.
Author
Now, Carolyn do you really think I’d use the same number twice? Knowing me…probably lol!
Another beautiful photo, Tim!
All of these are good ones and hard to believe any of them are real! I agree with the “other” lawyer on #4, and I’ll guess #1.
Author
I thought these were really funny, Mary G! We’ll see next week if you and Tim are correct…
That is an excellent photo of the bee and the rose. The verse truly does fit.
While planning a trip a few years back that would take us through Nashville, I learned that they were holding concerts in the old Ryman Auditorium that fall for a month or two. We got tickets to go. Loretta Lynn made an appearance and sang “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” She was the only one performing that night that I had heard of. We went primarily to experience the Ryman.
1. “Acting as his own council.” I’ve heard the saying about a “fool for a client,” but I’m not sure what it says when a man tries to be a group of people giving advice. It’s bad enough to give himself “counsel.”
2. I believe someone had already banished all intelligence from their minds.
3. I guess they never saw a bloodhound. Their ears almost drag the ground, so you could lift their ears quite a ways in the air without lifting their feet off the ground.
4. If it was legal, and not murder, I would suggest shooting that lawyer and getting him out of everyone’s misery. I would have said: “Would you please repeat the question?” I’m glad I had not just taken a swallow of water as I was thinking of doing right before I read that one.
I have got to go with #1. Surely a person would not ask such an incriminating question: “when I stole your car?”
Author
Love your logic, Edward! We’ll see…
Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton are my two favorite female vocalists. I did get to see Loretta Lynn in person when I was in my twenties. It was at a concert in Memphis. Grandpa Jones was also there…I’ll have to find one of his songs…
