Law Humor

By Judge Jerry Buchmeyer

From John Phillip Mustachio of Houston, this excerpt from the trial testimony of "the plaintiff, whose first language is Greek."

Q. What I'm trying to do, Mr. Emmanouil, is to show that you have quite a bit of experience in owning and operating real estate, do you not?

A. No. The only one experience I have is just to - to know how is the valuable of the land is going to go up or down. That's I'm good only. But legal phrase like this one, I'm zero. Like I said earlier, I have a gift know when is good piece of land or not. The rest of this stuff, it's English to me.
