On Sunday, my dad learned from a lawyer that there are 7 ways to answer a question:
1. No.
2. Yes.
3. I don’t remember.
4. I don’t know.
5. I don’t understand the question.
6. I can’t answer the question (5th amendment)
7. Green.
Green as in don’t elaborate more than you have to. If asked what color your car is, don’t say it was yellow before until you painted it green this summer. Simplicity and the way to manipulate the system.
In other news, my new potential roommate just finished up at Harvard Law and fits my requirements perfectly. I could be living with a lawyer in a month!
1. Do you have a roommate now?
2. Would you like to have a lawyer as a roommate?
3. What is the name of the first lawyer you met in your life?
4. How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
5. Guncha Guncha nik nok pleh?
6. What do you know about a pee-stained mattress?
7. How long do you take to get to work?
I figure since you’ll be living with a lawyer you need practice in answering tough questions in the right way. Practice makes perfect!
8. I don’t speak English. (you’ll definately win the case with this answer)
