We've all seen them: those supposedly “real” excerpts from trial and deposition transcripts like: “Q. Doctor, did you say he was shot in the woods? A. No, I said he was shot in the lumbar region.” Some of them have been circulating for 20 years. A visitor recently wrote to ask whether they are genuine and, if so, why they never include citation documentation. Good questions. What’s your opinion? I think they’re authentic. I think they’re mostly bogus. If they were real, they’d include documentation. I don’t care whether they’re real or fake because they’re still funny. I just wish people would quit clogging up my email inbox forwarding them to me.	Look what readers say about Harmless Error I was laughing so hard people near my office thought I was crying. — Sherry Cooper You are the Dave Barry of our profession. — Charles R. Crawford I have to tell you that in 38 years of perusing the ABA Journal I never have laughed as much as I did when I read your item on Canned Sincerity. I was laughing so hard that tears came to my eyes. — Joe Frank Beyond superb, beyond funny ... absolutely, positively, stupendously magnificent! — Sheldon Finkelstein Laughed myself silly. — Denise Sangster Your Hep Catalogs piece in the ABA Journal is the funniest thing I have come across in ages. I laughed until I cried. Thanks for brightening my day! — Kent Schneider It has been a long time since I read anything as funny. Thanks for the laughter. — Cooka Hillebrand It's a rainy cold Sunday ... No one else is in the office and it's a good thing because I am howling with laughter. This column is your best ever! — Dianne Dailey I loved your piece on A Civil Action. I read much of it aloud to my Civil Procedure class. They howled. — Gerry Hess When I receive the ABA Journal the first thing I always flip to is Harmless Error. I am a third-year law student and I have been religiously reading Harmless Error since I began law school. Keep up the humor! In the law we definitely need to see the lighter side. — Erin Eckert The Rule Against Perpetuities moved me to tears on more than one occasion while a law student, but your column actually moved me to tears of hysterical laughter. Thanks for the welcome break from the insanity. — Michelle Katz Just read your article in the ABA Journal!!! I laughed so hard—the best laugh I’ve had all summer!! — Deborah K. Comini I am an attorney who has been practicing for almost 20 years. Your article was hilarious. What a great way to start my day. Thanks!! — Barbara Burnett Your article regarding the mailbox rule was hysterical. — J.L. Kessler You’ve really got a gift for writing in a way that slides right through the brain and goes straight to the funny bone. Thanks for all the giggles. — Jacquie Brennan Submit Your Own Comments
