Court
An eminent psychologist was called to testify in court. A severe no nonsense
professional, she sat down in the witness chair unaware that it's rear legs were set
precariously on the back of the raised platform.
"Will you state your name?" asked the district attorney.
Tilting back in her chair she opened her mouth to answer, but instead catapulted
head-over-heels backward and landed in a stack of exhibits and recording equipment.
Everyone watched in stunned silence as she extricated herself, rearranged her
disheveled dress and hair and was reseated on the witness stand. The glare she
directed at onlookers dared anyone to so much as smirk.
"Well, doctor," continued the district attorney without changing expression, "we could
start with an easier question."
