Favorite Line from a Deposition
My first ever deposition still includes my favorite exchange ever. This was a personal injury matter, and the Plaintiff was being deposed about his injuries. Imagine a big scary looking biker guy.
Me: Did the pain return?
Plaintiff: Yes. Like the magic turtle that lives in my backyard. It always returns.
Me: What?
Plaintiff: I have a magic turtle that has followed me around my whole life. He lives in my backyard. Sometimes he disappears for a while but he always returns.
Me: What's his name?
Plaintiff: Otto.
Still my favorite exchange to ever occur during a deposition. Wondering if any of you have any fun ones you can share.
EDIT:
Just want to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's stories. This profession can be brutal, but humans are wild and always keep it interesting.
