How Do Court Reporters Keep Straight Faces?

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.

ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?
WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'
ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: My name is Susan!
_______________________________

ATTORNEY: How old is your son, the one living with you?
WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't remember which.
ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you?
WITNESS: Forty-five years.
_________________________________
ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget..
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
___________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
____________________________________

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's 20, much like your IQ.
___________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me?
_________________________________________
ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.

WITNESS: Getting laid
____________________________________________

ATTORNEY: She had three children , right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?

____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
WITNESS: By death..
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.
___________________________________________

ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.
_____________________________________
ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: Doctor , how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
_________________________________________
ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral…
_________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
____________________________________________
ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?

______________________________________
And last:

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for 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.

Alright, question. You know Touhou songs.

I had a song on my old MP3. The video it came from had a trick-or-treating Flan as the image. However, I renamed it when I downloaded it, likely because the title was Japanese. After a while, I wanted to share it with other people, but couldn't find it again.

Now that I don't have that MP3 any more, I don't have the song. Can you find it? Lyrics sound vaguely German, and it's a UN Owen was Her? remix.

I think I know that one, though it's probably been at least a year since I've seen it.

Give me a bit... .
Ten minutes of searching later.
... looks like the channel I'm pretty sure was the host of that specific video got suspended two days ago due to a problem with Google's copyright strikes system. Again. :(

I think I found a different video with the same song, though. Is this it?

Yup, first five seconds was all I needed there.
Thank you.
 
Anyone up for some pokemon showdown?
I managed to get my account working again.
 
You know, since I'm here, I figure I should read some quests or something...

But I pretty much relied on the wdango and BleachDoctor threads to hear about quests and rps that users of those threads made...

So I guess I'll blunder around or something.

I'm pretty sure that some people will able to give you some recommendations.

Alternatively, start a quest yourself!

Not happening. My motivation is shot, so I'd abandon it sooner than usual.

That would also require me to have an actual idea for a quest, whereas I tend toward RPs in general.
 
Well, I would normally post more songspam, but instead I have an interesting video.


(Plenty of music included; don't worry.)

Who is she?

I'm getting something of a Lucatiel of Mirrah vibe off her.

Well, besides being as evidently badass as she is, there's a few things.

First, she's the person Gehrman made the doll that supports you to imitate. Well, they do different things, but they might as well be twins. Kinda disconcerting, to look like you're fighting the person who levels you up.

Second, she's a direct pupil to the First Hunter. And unlike him, she doesn't have a peg leg when you fight her.

Third, there's the fact that despite how ridiculously badass she was and how her job was to hunt Beasts, she spent quite a bit of time just trying to help victims of the Church's experimentation. Even something as simple as indulging in their insane topic changes, or holding a torch to keep the darkness lit, or giving them a key out to the balcony to let them smell the flowers whenever they'd want, to the point that pretty much all of them that was still capable of speech had a high opinion of her. Despite how her interaction with the player is, background information shows that she's an extremely caring person, by the standards of Bloodborne, at least.
