A voice from the back seat
We were returning home last night from taking my parents out to dinner to celebrate my mother's birthday and my daughter and I had the following conversation (remember, she's only four):
GC: What are you doing, Pappa?
Me: [thinking it was pretty darn obvious what I was doing behind the wheel of the car, responded with small sarcasm] Just hanging out. What are you doing?
GC: I'm just sitting back here watching you drive.
Me: How am I doing?
GC: Better. [small pause] That's all I can really say. Better.
Thus proving what every trial lawyer already knows: never ask an open ended question you don't know the answer to.
My wife almost went into convulsions next to me, muttering to herself, "its NY, everyone's a critic."

Good god...does she EVER stop with these great comments? No no...not a critic; I think writing screenplays is in her future, for sure. :-)

Don't you love children?! I absolutely adored watching that show with Bill Cosby...
and speaking of quotes, I got this in an email that's floating around, apparently a true transcript from a court reporter:
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: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

Phillipe, I believe that that is a real transcript of a real conversation that snopes has varified. And it's still hilarious!!
