Law Humor

By Judge Jerry Buchmeyer

From Bruce R. Hardesty of Austin (King & Hardesty), this excerpt from the deposition he took of a witness to a hit-and-run automobile accident - who, with his mother's help, got the license number of the car in question [____38D].

A. As the car was leaving, my mom remembered half of the license plate number and I remembered the other half ...

Q. And you said that you noticed three of the numbers of the license plate?

A. I got three and my mom remembered three ... The part that my mom remembered was her bra size, so that's how she remembered those numbers for sure.

Q. (By Bruce Hardesty with - he says -"obvious insight and keen logic") That must have been the 38D?

A. Yes. That was how those particular numbers stuck out in her mind.
