some years ago I was called as a witness in civil litigation between a former boss/company owner and a fellow former sales rep…he had subpoenaed me to testify about our contracts and such conversations with the boss…

he was being sued for breach of contract and boss wanted me to spill dirt on my co-worker…boss’s lawyer starts with me, asking about this conversation or that thing and I was advised at best to just say I don’t recall or I can’t remember…god, I hated being on the stand…

finally, the attorney says, “Mister Lava…you don’t remember this…you don’t remember that…just how far back don’t you remember?”

taking my cue, I replied, “I don’t remember my bris.”

the judge excused me and I was allowed to step down.
