Say What?

From today's post on the humor blog of U.S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer...

March 1997 - Did They Really Ask That?

From Oliver "Jackson" Schrumpf of Sulphur, La. (Schrumpf & Schrumpf),
this excerpt from the deposition of
the Vehicle Permit Manager, Louisiana Department of Weights & Measures,
taken in a civil case involving an overloaded log truck.

Q. And then under that appears the permit for the axle and gross vehicle load limitations. First, you have single axle. What is a single axle, Mr. Norman?

(after a long pause ...)

A. That's one axle.

Q. You're talking to lawyers.

Mr. Schrumpf : He thought it was a trick question.
