ways does it affect your memory? A: I forget. Q: You forget. Can you give us an
example of something that you've forgotten?

can't remember which. Q: How long has he lived with you? A: Forty-five years.

A: Yes. Q: Did the defendant say anything when she got out of her car? A: Yes, sir.
Q: What did she say? A: What disco am I at?
Q: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know

there any girls?

they go up also?
Q: Mr. Slatery, you went on a rather elaborate honeymoon, didn't you? A: I went to
Europe, Sir. Q: And you took your new wife?
Q: How was your first marriage terminated? A: By death. Q: And by whose death was it
terminated?
Q: Can you describe the individual? A: He was about medium height and had a beard.
Q: Was this a male, or a female?
Q: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent
to your attorney? A: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
Q: All your responses must be oral, OK? What school did you go to? A: Oral.
Q: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
Q: You were not shot in the fracas [noisy fight]? A: No, I was shot midway between
the fracas and the navel.
Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people? A: All my autopsies
are performed on dead people.
Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? A: The autopsy started around
8:30 p.m. Q: And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time? A: No, he was sitting on the
table wondering why I was doing an autopsy.
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q:
Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q:
So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A:
No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk
in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless? A: It is
possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.
