January 2000 - A TYPO TRIFECTA

By Judge Jerry Buchmeyer

From Bruce J. Denny of Shreveport
(Cook, Yancey, etc.), this precedent-setting
Triple Typo mix (one written,
two verbal):

(1) A divorce decree which provided
"The parties shall not use the children
or third parties as the soul means of
communications with each other."

(2) A deponent who "had a little
problem with his terminology - when
asked by Bruce, "has your wife had any
recent health problems" - answered:
"No, other than a few years ago she had
a baby by Syrian section."

(3) The same deponent, Bruce says,
(unfortunately) gave one answer that
was "head and shoulders" above the
others. When Bruce asked him "were
you mad at your supervisor," the witness
answered "It really got my dandruff
up."
