MONTHLY READER POLL
New poll! 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.
