Things People Said: Courtroom Quotations

Extremely funny things like this:

Lawyer: “And what did he do then?”
Witness: “He came home, and next morning he was dead.”
Lawyer: “So when he woke up the next morning he was dead?”

Indian Premier League’s second episode has already become hit news with pretty much happening before the season itself.

Firstly, the INDIAN PL had been shifted to South Africa. This harsh reality with which many fans can’t still cope with has not reduced the enthusiasm of fans.

Then, there are the teams’ internal issues.
The Kolkata Knight Riders have been in the news for everyday, thanks to Shah Rukh and his comments, Buchanan and his crazy ideas. And Ganguly has been replaced as captain by McCullum.
Banglore Royal Challengers’ Captain Rahul Dravid has also been axed.

Now, with almost all teams having a foreign captain and the whole game happening at a foreign soil, Indians are looking eagerly towards the Indian Premier League.

Dear All,

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) Campaign

The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name “ICE” ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as “ICE.”

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today!!! !

Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest .

ICE will speak for you when you are not able to

I consider reading as the best hobby because it is:

1. Easy: Everyone learns reading at their schools. So, there is no need to learn something new.
2. Cheap: Look around you. For every electronic thing, there will be one magazine or book in your room. Why? It is a lot more cheaper (the positive way to tell ‘lot less expensive’) . if you go to a super market, it is more probable that you will buy a book than an electronic good
3. Healthy: Reading saves your eye from tv, computer, etc.
   For sitting while reading, or even lying down, you will have to employ many muscles in your back and legs and abdomen, thus leading them to strength.
4. You are the master: You can read at your own pace. You can re-read. You can fast forward. You can skip. You can rewind. You don’t get addicted.
5. Mobile: Can you sleep beside your guitar on your holidays, if you had to travel in a crowded train with two bags in both of your hands?
   Books can accompany you wherever you are, just a matter of a few inches.
6. Huge: You start collecting stamps. All easily available stamps are collected. Over. Your hobby, heads nowhere.
   There are so many books written, that you cannot finish reading even everything you’ve got in your private library, let alone search for new grazing grounds.
7. Universal: Unlike other hobbies like tv shows, collecting, bird-watching, etc., reading is universal.
   That is, you read Harry Potter, you have friends all over the globe. But you watch birds near you. Those may be unheard, elsewhere.
