Have You Ceased beating Your Wife?
A story is told of a brow-beating counsel, who habitually endeavoured to terrorize his opponent’s witnesses. One witness rather tended to preface his replies with lengthy explanations.
“ I wan’t ‘yes’or ‘no’.” Thundered counsel. “There is no need for uou to argue the point”
“But there are some questions which cannot be answered by ‘yes’ or ‘no’, mildly responded the witness.
“ There are not!” unwisely snapped the lawyer.
“Oh,” said the witness.” “answer this then: Have you ceased bearhing uour wife?”
您停止打妻子了吗？
一个故事讲述一位逼人做事的辩护师，他习惯于竭力去恐吓他的反对者的证人。
一位证人要用很长的解释来引出他的回答。
“我想要‘是’或‘不是’辩护师大声说道，“对你来说你无须争论细节。”
“可是有一些问题是不能用‘是’或‘不是’来回答的，证人和善地回答。
“没有那种问题！“律师很不理智地答道。
“噢”证人说，“那么回答这个问题：您已经停止殴打您的妻子了吗？”
