These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place.

WITNESS: "He said, where am I Cathy?"

ATTORNEY: "And in what ways does it affect your memory?"
WITNESS: "I forget.."
ATTORNEY: "You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?"
_________________________ __________________

ATTORNEY: "Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he
doesn't know about it until the next morning?"
WITNESS: "Did you actually pass the bar exam?"
_________________________ ___________

ATTORNEY: "The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?"
WITNESS: "He's 20, much like your IQ."
_________________________ __________________

ATTORNEY: "Were you present when your picture was taken?"
WITNESS: "Are you shitting me?
_________________________ ________________

ATTORNEY: "So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?"

ATTORNEY: "And what were you doing at that time?"
WITNESS: "Getting laid."
_________________________ ___________________

ATTORNEY: "She had three children, right?"
WITNESS: "Yes."
ATTORNEY: "How many were boys?"
WITNESS: "None."
ATTORNEY: "Were there any girls?"
WITNESS: "Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?"
_________________________ ___________________

ATTORNEY: "How was your first marriage terminated?"

WITNESS: "Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male."
_________________________ ____________

ATTORNEY: "Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a
deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?"
WITNESS: "No, this is how I dress when I go to work."
_________________________ _____________

ATTORNEY: "Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?"
WITNESS: "All of them.. The live ones put up too much of a fight."
_________________________ ________________

ATTORNEY: "ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?"
WITNESS: " Oral..."
_________________________ ________________

ATTORNEY: "Do you recall the time that you examined the body?"
WITNESS: "The autopsy started around 8:30 PM."
ATTORNEY: "And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?"
WITNESS: "If not, he was by the time I finished."
_________________________ ___________________

ATTORNEY: "Are you qualified to give a urine sample?"
WITNESS: "Are you qualified to ask that question?"
_________________________ _____________

And last:

ATTORNEY: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for breathing?"
WITNESS: "No.."
ATTORNEY: "So then, it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "How can you be so sure Doctor?"
WITNESS: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
ATTORNEY: "I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?"
WITNESS: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law."
