Dick Smothers (of the Smothers Brothers) once sucker punched Bill Cosby at a Playboy Mansion party for not participating in the civil rights movement. Because this is a thing that happened in the 70’s.

Man, I miss Richard Pryor. Another one that was taken from us far, far too soon.

I meant difficult witnesses. Depositions for the most part are straightforward. “List your job duties.” “What does page 5 of the report say?” “Recall the conversation you had with the plaintiff the morning of May 8.” Every so often you run across a case where the witness hates the attorney and hates the fact that they…

“Then tell Bill to have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.” LEGENDARY.

“nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”

You put the pillls in the drink and the ladies go to sleep and then you do the naughty things without the consent and wahahaahahaha

Wait for it...

“Have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up” is still a go-to line.

Eddie was the best

I give you props for this. Nay — Jello Pudding Props.

His brand of “pull up your pants and stop using naughty words” brand of morality was bullshit anyway.

Working in litigation for a very long time, I have a favorite pastime of reading depositions involving difficult clients and lawyers. This one takes the cake. I’m on page 14 of Plaintiff’s motion and I want to punch Mr. O’Connor in the face. I hope this dep ends with Ms. Troiani actually punching him in the face.

See people, this is how you make a Florida joke.

Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy always had the moral high ground.

J-A-I-L-O

Cosby immediately given honorary degree by Florida State

fuck this guy; he’ll likely have enough money/lawyers to keep himself out of jail, but his role of moral arbiter—no, that’s been dead and gone for a while now, he needs to be publicly banished, so that he cannot show his face anywhere.

I would just like to thank all of the Jez and groupthink commentors for not calling me out on my typos and giving me stars even though I can barely understand the things I write. Thank you and may Ba’al bless you can keep you.
