I get to add one from about a month ago.

The deponent was the plaintiff in the lawsuit. He had a criminal record as long as your arm. This case involved a car accident. He was asked by the attorney if the doctor had confined him to home after the accident as a result of his injuries. He says, "home confinement?" Attorney says, "yes." he says, "Yeah, I''ve done that." His attorney looked at him like he was nuts. The questioning attorney did the same because he had not been so ordered. Then the questioning attorney clarified by saying, "for medical reasons?" The deponent says, "oh, no, not for medical reasons." We ALL just cracked up laughing, including the deponent. It took several seconds to resume control of that deposition. Everytime since I have seen this attorney, we still just laugh about this one.
