Disorder in the courts :-)

This was sent to me by my good friend Phil and I had to pass it on !  Enjoy !  These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?' ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ___________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ____________________________________ ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ. ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you shitting me? _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: getting laid ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: She had three children, right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? W ITNESS : Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Take a guess. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard. ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ______________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral. _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m. ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? ______________________________________ And the best for last: ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

What do you do when you are going on national television in less than 12 hours and your website doesn't work? by Laura Sounds like an impossible situation, but that is exactly what happened last week.  Although I cannot tell you who this public figure is, I can tell you that we were contacted to finish their website, get it working so that people could view their video and fill out a form showing their support. We stayed up all night and the site was up.  Since Thursday, their video has been viewed over 80,000 times and there have been over 17, 000 people signing up in support of them. New Podcasts Released  by Laura Two new podcasts this week: Interview with Eric Hamm the wordpress developer of Frugal Theme. Interview with Andrew Machado community manger of Apture and their new magic search bar. Find out that and more with our podcast series on Yada Yada Marketing and available on iTunes for download.  Check out our podcast page here. The New Web by Laura The last few weeks have been very exciting.  My continued research into mobile marketing and geographically tagged applications like Four Square, Gowalla and Twitters new geo functions have opened up a HUGE opportunity for small local businesses. It reminds me of what it was like back in 1999 when I started PCDJ.  The new technology being released then was changing the way we listened to music and how we lived. This new technology is doing the same thing for connecting people up on a local level and local businesses will be the beneficiaries of this if they know how to take advantage of it. The Internet made the world smaller, allowing us to communicate across the world as if it was across town. It's now coming back to our homes and neighborhoods and it's exciting.  Join me Friday for the next Local Search Dominator webinar and I'll show you all about it! Click Here to Register.

Social Media Training, marketing fails and new podcasts released!

Marketing Fail of the week found by our own Steve Blom This one is wrong on so many levels.  It does, however, gives you an idea on why historically speaking advertising not trusted!  I suspect the drug commercials and ads of today will be seen in the future in the same sort of light. Don't these advertisers think we notice them talking about the side effects like death, sexual dysfunction and suicidal thoughts despite the pictures of rolling hills and soothing music in the background?   New Podcasts Released  by Laura Want to learn how search engines work? How to use e-mail marketing and not break the law? How about social media marketing? Find out that and more with our podcast series on Yada Yada Marketing and to be available on iTunes for download later this week.  Check out our podcast page here. Another cool announcement! I am pleased to annouce that I will be writing for our local lifestyle and entertainment paper, Creative Loafing, on their blog, The Daily Loaf.  If you're in the Tampa Bay area, you'll know what a cool paper they have and great honor it is.  You can visit their site here.   Check out the future..today Layar application for iPhone helps you get where you're going... This picture was taken by a friend of mine in NYC.  He is using a smart phone application called "Layar" and is directing him to the nearest Dunkin Donuts.

Facebook Overtakes Google, Four Square and when to fire a client!

More new technology...lions and tigers and bears, oh my! March 16, 2010 Marketing Fail of the Week Some of the marketing fails I put here, I find on the internet, but I found this one in my local supermarket. I did some research and this is most probably Brittish in origin. I don't suspect there's a huge market here in Florida despite the fact that it is microwavable! Have any of you ever bought this type of pudding?? The 80/20 rule...sometimes you just need to fire them... The rule goes like this. 20% of your clients will create 80% of your work . What happens is you try to appease them and as a result you end up neglecting the 80% who aren't a problem. What do you do then when you encounter this type? I'll tell you: FIRE THEM and fire them quickly! I mention this again as I was reminded this yet again last week. No matter what, you don't have to put up with someone who will never be happy with your service or product. Of course, you should do some soul seraching and make sure that you don't have anything to address personally, but if you get one of those guys on your lines just get rid of them quickly. You know the type--never happy, always critcal and demanding more service than they paid for. In my opinion, the biggest differentiator with these guys is how that person makes you feel. I have a friend who says to use your "spidey" sense (reference Spider Man.) I agree. If after a conversation, you're feeling a bit squished--get rid of them and get rid of them quick. You'll find bigger and better business right around the corner! Even Google sometimes has SEO problems Watch this video of Google's SEO expert Matt Cutts on some of the things he found with Google properties: Local Search tip! Have you heard of Four Square? If you own a local business, Four Square can help you greatly. Foursquare is a social network fused with a game that anyone can play, from anywhere in the world. It allows people to check in to any location they visit and your business can be part of the game. In fact, if you are set up on Four Square, you can not only attract some business, but it will help your local search ranking. You can sign up as a business (and add specials, etc.) by filling out your business information here . The other big thing that is happening is mobile marketing. I will be going over some of the mobile as well as Four Square and a bunch of other options on the next webinar. We'll go over how some of these changes effect you as well as some common sense strategies to implement so that you don't get left in the dust. Click Here to register.

22 Things I don't understand.

1.  Why is a man with gray hair distinguished, a woman with gray hair is an old hag?

2.  Why is my husband fascinated with boxing...hmmm men beating up men??

3.  Why it is my problem when the Internet goes down and my children can't log into their games?

4.  Fish is good for you, but I still can't enjoy it no matter how much I try.  Doesn't seem fair, does it?

5.  Chocolate despite being my favorite food is still not good for me.

6.  Why hasn't anyone noticed that 1984 has arrived?

7.  If drugs are bad for you--and they are, why are pharmaceutical companies
   pushing their drugs on TV?  Don't they think we notice them talking about the side effects despite
   the pictures of rolling hills and soothing sounds?

8.  Viagra.  I don't get it.  Of course a man should go to a hospital if he has an erection for
   more than four hours. My question is what does he do for three hours and forty five minutes
   while's he's waiting to decide if he needs medical intervention?  On second thought,
   maybe I don't really want to know.

9.  Time--it moves too quick now and seemed like forever when I was growing up.  Why?

10. Why does my son thinks he's up to driving a car when he misses the garbage can?  Sure, that
   qualifies him to navigate a three thousand pound weapon.

11. I can see perfectly, it's just that the books seem to be written differently today.  Why should I
   need to move them accross the room so I can read them clearly?

12. Why is it that even though I've run many companies, owned a computer since the 1980's and been
   on the Internet since 1996--hell, I started a company that developed software for DJ's in 1999
   which is now an industry standard, I still find  my 17 year old son can still help me with my
   computers?  Shouldn't I know more than him?

13. When I was growing up I used to ask my parents about "the olden days."  I swore I wouldn't call my
   growing up "the olden days."  I rethought my position when my kids looked at my vinyl record
   collection and asked what they were.  Shhesh.

14. I don't understand how I lived without these things:  a fax machine, a cell phone, e-mail,
   the Internet, my iPhone, cable TV, and a DVR.  In each case within 24 hours of attaining one,
   I couldn't live without them.

15. No matter how tech savvy I am, I'm never going to embrace "texting."  Who has fingers
   small enough?  The cat?

16. I've upgraded my computer, my software, my eye wear, my lifestyle, my home and my car.
  Why can't I upgrade my husband?  Oh wait, I did.  His name is Steve.

17.  What happens to all the socks I buy?  My boys use mine when they can't find
  theirs. I'm considering buying only pink socks to see if that solves the problem.

18.  Forks.  Where do they go?  In my house there seems to be an evil gremlin that
  steals them.

19. Why can my son get up at the crack of dawn when he's going on a field trip and
  can't get up when it's time for school?

20.  Why is it that it takes nine people to do what I do in a day?

21.  Why is it that it costs at least dollar more than it would cost in the first place
  to do it right to then fix a "shortcut"?  Not to mention about twice the time.

22.  When running late, why are all the people in front of you on the road going
   slower than construction equipment?

OK, I couldn't resist

Loo with a view: The world's toilets with the best vistas

We may not really care what our view is when we use the loo. But maybe we should - for according to the World Toilet Organisation we spend three years of our lives on the throne.

A blast from the past, OK, It's my past..

OK, I might be dating myself but when I saw these images, it brought me back, back home to NYC, back home to CBGB's. I miss everyone. My kids don't understand, it's just a logo to them.

When Joey Ramone died, I wore my red Converse All Stars as a tribute. I'm 47 now, and I still do...

This is cute

This is Happy and Bobby, both dressed as one half of the Batman and Robbin team. These guys belong to my chiropractor and I took this picture on my iPhone!
