Sit back and enjoy a collection of verbatim exchanges from the halls of justice, where defendants and plaintiffs, lawyers and witnesses, juries and judges, collide to produce memorably insane comedy. The Court: "The charge here is theft of frozen chickens. Are you the defendant, sir?" Defendant: "No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens."

“Defense Counsel compliments the Public Prosecutor on his brilliant presentation of the indictment; the Public Prosecutor expresses his admiration for the Defense Counsel's eloquence; the Presiding Judge congratulates both speakers; in short, everyone is more than satisfied…except the accused.”
“辩护律师称赞检察官对起诉书的精彩陈述；检察官对辩护律师的雄辩表示钦佩；主审法官祝贺双方发言者；简而言之，每个人都非常满意……除了被告。” (查看原文)
Attorney: Sir, all your answers must be oral. Witness: Yes, Sir. Attorney:Which school did you go to? Witness: Oral. Attorney: How many anatomises have you done on dead people, Doctor? Expert Witness: All of them.

文化差異蠻大的，然後森森的覺得翻譯君很偉大= =。。。雖然有些故事也覺得很有趣很好笑，但是大部分的段子沒掌握到笑點在哪裡。。。當然，也可能我的水平不夠= =

介绍美国法庭中各种混乱现象的笑话集，包括11个部分。但坦率的说，大部分地方的笑点没看懂？不是单词不懂意思，而是不懂有啥可说的，想说明什么？
