Funny!!
I went to court recently to terminate my ex's right for my daughter (he was a horrible person). he choose to try to fight against me so we ended up in a court room battle.
I forget exactly how he asked the question, but it was about me logging into my ex's facebook. He asked the question in a way my answer would sound like i was a bad person. I answered with the way i wanted to. His lawyer told me it was a "yes or no" question.
I responded with "Sorry, but I will answer the way I want to. I refuse to sit up here while you try and make me look bad. "
The judge never said anything. I was surprised. I figure he would have told me to just answer it. I think the judge was sick of his lawyer talking about stupid irrelevant topics.0 -
Oh and by the way: I won that court case0

:laugh: :drinker:0

Hahahahaha well this made my morning!0
