The Christmas concert. Its every parents private hell. Two hours of bad sax....if ya know what I'm talking about and I think you do. This year's concert was actually in the catergory of "not bad", as the band director actually....brace yourself here...let the kids play Christmas music! Every year we go to this show and wonder why they aren't playing holiday music. I mean....is it me? Hello? So this year I guess he decided to throw us the proverbial "parental bone" and they played five holiday songs. It was geek central folks.
So today was a hoot in court. First of all, our trial ended up being a mistrial right after we selected a jury when a defense witness told the defense attorney that he had heard a juror say:
"Well, they say this is a refusal case. You know that means she's guilty."
DOH!
However, my personal favorite came courtesy of the judge today. She's questioning the prospective jurors during the selection process, and naturally one of the questions that is posed to each juror is whether or not they happen to drink. So one guy, dressed nice, early 20's, ponytail...raises his hand and says that he's not a drinker. This is what followed:
"So sir, you say you are not a drinker?"
"No maam."
"What about smoking weed? Do you do any of that?"
"What? No!"
"Well, I was just wondering....the ponytail, you understand."
Hilarious.
Its late...DVD reviews tomorrow if I get a chance.
Later,
Jeff
