More Lawyer Gaffes #14 is this week’s Mystery Question. Who would’ve thought there’d be this many!
But first, the photo, taken at Dauphin Island last week. Do you know how hard it is to capture a bird in flight with your phone camera? But I didn’t have my good camera on the beach, so I kept trying, and I love this photo. Our family had a great time at the beach and I used the time to recover from Covid. Still recovering if the fact is known. 🙂
I thought the verse went especially well with the photo. John 14:27 has long been a favorite of mine, one that I cling to when the cares of this world threaten to overcome.
Now for the Mystery Question from two weeks ago–More Funny Lawyer Gaffes #13. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- Lawyer: Is it true you identified the defendant in a lineup as one of four men who attacked you?
Witness: Yes.
Defendant: She’s lying! There were only three of us. - Lawyer: How many times have you committed suicide?
Witness: Four times. - Lawyer: And you check your radar unit frequently?
Officer: Yes, I do.
Lawyer: And was your radar unit functioning correctly at the time you had the plaintiff on radar?
Officer: Yes, it was malfunctioning correctly. - Lawyer: Were you alone or by yourself?
And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly.
Now for this week’s Mystery Question–More Funny Lawyer Gaffes #14. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse, or blood pressure or 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 briefing his client: “You must swear to tell the complete truth. Do you understand?”
CLIENT: “I do.”
ATTORNEY: “Do you know what will happen if you don’t tell the truth?”
CLIENT: “Sure. I imagine that our side will win.” - ATTORNEY: Now sir, I’m sure you are an intelligent and honest man–
WITNESS: Thank you. If I weren’t under oath, I’d return the compliment. - ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM
ATTORNEY: And the man was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the Comments, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library.

Hi Mary! We’ll see next week if it’s #2…
I’m so glad you got to enjoy time with family. There’s nothing better! Trust you’ll continue to rebound from Covid quickly.
These Lawyer Gaffes are so funny! I’m going to guess #2.

It was a wonderful trip. I did nothing but rest and enjoy the kiddos, L. lol

Hi Martha! We’ll see…
I am going with #2. Love the picture and verse. Praying that you will continue to recover from Covid.
Author
Thanks, Sharon. It’s a slow go with regaining my energy. 🙂 We’ll see next week if it’s #2…
Pat, I’m glad you had a great time with your family. I’m praying that your COVID recovery will soon be complete. And, what a photo! I’m glad you persisted and snagged that one. So cool. Good verse to pair with it, too.
Let’s see…
#1. No way would I get that lawyer.
#2. Sounds like a personal conversation.
#3. Pretty snarky comment.
#4. I don’t think I’d want this one for my lawyer either.
Because the conversation was between client and lawyer, I’d say you made up #2.
I love that song, too!
Author
Hi Tim! As always I love your logic behind your answer…we’ll see next week. As for Covid, it’s a slow go. lol
The photo is a treasure. What a joy to get it at just the right time! Yay!
Had some good laughs on #1 and #2. Going with #2
Keep recovering and guess going full steam ahead!!!
Author
Thanks, Barbara! I am making myself walk a mile a day…not fun, but I know it’s the only way to get my energy back. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week!
So glad you had a good trip.
Guessing #2
Author
Thank you! We’ll see next week if it’s the popular #2!
Good morning, I think its #2
Author
Hi Alicia! We’ll see next week!
It sounds like you had a fun trip. I hope that you continue to recover quickly.
I am guessing #1 again.
Author
It was a fun trip even though I didn’t have much energy–it was a good place to rest!
I think two.
Author
Hi Judy! We’ll see next week…
Thanks for the giggle, Pat. I laughed out loud!
Author
I’m glad, Kelly! Thanks for stopping by.
I have that verse as the background on my phone. It’s HARD to catch a flying bird on a cell phone. I tried several times this morning to catch a cardinal, luminescent red in the sun, flying. All I got was blue sky, LOL!
I think you made up number 2. Either you made up that one, or the witness was awfully witty!
Priscilla, the trick is to put some nectar on your cell phone. That should at least catch a hummingbird or two. 🙂
Author
Love your logic, Prscilla…you’ve been hanging around Tim and Edward too long! We’ll see next week…
I think it’s #2
Author
Hi Joy! Number 2 is very popular…we’ll see next week…
Hi Patricia, Praying for you to heal completely and quickly! I love the picture and verse!
#2.

It is funny, Shelia…we’ll see…

Author
We’ll see, Patricia!
I’ll say #2.
Author
Number 2 is very popular…doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right one, though…we’ll see next week!

Sorry for the short response. It’s been a long week. My wife is in the hospital after a fall at home resulting in a fracture of the C1 vertebra. The doctors are having a terrible time finding the right medication to get her pain down to a manageable level. My time and energy is going into being there for her.
Author
Oh, Edward, I’m so sorry about your wife’s fall and pain. I’ll be praying for her and you!

We’ll see next week, Barbie D. Thanks for stopping by!!
I am guessing #1 because it is absurd a lawyer would ask if someone was alive without a brain. I love your photo!
Author
Carolyn, some of these are too stupid to be true, but unfortunately are. lol Not saying this one is true…we’ll find out next week…glad you liked my photo!
I think it’s #3 this week. So glad you are recovering from nasty Covid.
Author
Thank you, Delores! We’ll see next Tuesday.
