MUST THINK.
The Motorist was in the witness-box suffering cross-examination from a counsel whose manner was—to put it mildly—curt. “When did the accident happen?” counsel barked. “Well, er, I think—” started witness nervously. “We are not interested in your thoughts,” snapped the lawyer angrily. “Perhaps 1 had better leave the box then,”, replied the witness mildly. “I can’t talk without thinking, I’m afra'd, I’m not a lawyer.” Driver: “I wasn’t going at forty miles an hour nor thirty nor even twenty.” Magistrate: “Here, steady now or you’ll_be backing into something.”
