Strong Women

 I kid you not.  This is exactly what my female  witness answered in her deposition from an injury accident.

A.     No.  I was not complaining of anything.  I was as strong as a horse.  

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK

This was pulled from my archives of reporting experiences.   My personal comments are in
parenthesis, but don't worry.   I take them out during the editing process.  They're random

just can't make this stuff up.

"Q.     During your employment with the Medical Examiner's Office have you ever been

 A.     Yes.
 Q.     For what?
 A.     Released the wrong body to the wrong funeral home."
          (Okay.   That's not good.)

                  "Now, where the ox left the ditch, in terms of the recommendation, initially, is in the -- it starts from the beginning".
