“As the Earth prepares for Spring, |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is the first day of Spring!
While this is in and of itself cause for celebration for all of us, some of us
observe it more carefully than others. For those of you just joining us
(or who just really, really haven't been paying attention), I'll tell you that
Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH
is a Druid Priestess. We here like to celebrate and educate (or at
least take notice) of all our varied celebrations and observances like the Big
Happy Family that we have become.

From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 03/19/15:
| These are from a book called
Disorder in the Court, and are things people actually said in court,
word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had
the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking
place. Q: What is your date of birth? A: July 15th. Q: What year? A: Every year. Q: How old is your son, the one living with you? A: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't remember which. Q: How long has he lived with you? A: Forty-five years. Q: What was the first thing your husband said to you when he woke up that morning? A: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?" Q: And why did that upset you? A: My name is Susan. Q: How was your first marriage terminated? A: By death. Q: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? A: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q: Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A: No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law. |
