    Good luck.

    However, I have to make note that the very first sentence of the suit is incorrect. Maryland recognizes the second amendment by the following from the Maryland Constitution:


    Art. 2. The Constitution of the United States, and the Laws made, or which shall be made, in pursuance thereof, and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, are, and shall be the Supreme Law of the State; and the Judges of this State, and all the People of this State, are, and shall be bound thereby; anything in the Constitution or Law of this State to the contrary notwithstanding.

    Well, Patrick, I'm pretty sure your deposition wasn't as weird as this one.

    Plaintiff was an employee of the Natural History Museum in Washington. He walks to work one day and enters the building through the loading dock. He slips and falls, he thinks on a liquid that leaked from wheeled baskets that were used each morning to remove garbage. He has a third party claim against the company that ran the cafeteria, and my client, the trash company that rolled out the trash.

    The other defendant and I deposed the treating doctor, who was big into accupuncture. The other defense lawyer was a woman in her forties, and a complete bundle of nerves. Very driven, very aggressive. The plaintiff was represented by a very nice guy who was an associate in the office. Capable enough, but clearly a placeholder.

    There was a lot of arguing among the parties about the scope of the deposition. The lawyers suspended the deposition, and we called the judge for an impromptu ruling. We all returned to the doctor's office, which was little more than a closet with a desk. We sat down and waited for the doctor to come back in.

    When the doctor came in to resume the deposition, he had a little box with him. He said to the woman lawyer seated at my left elbow, "You're looking a little tense..." With one fluid motion he swiped her brow with an alcohol swap, pinched the skin and stuck her with a needle. He repeated that procedure about a dozen times, until she looked like the guy in the other thread with the face full of porcupine needles.

    That wasn't the most amazing thing. The woman melted like a pat of butter in a hot skillet. She started smiling, and generally acting like she just had two martinis. She started making eyes at the doctor, and he let the plaintiff's lawyer and me know that he was done. After a few more questions, the plaintiff's lawyer, reporter and I were hustled out and the door shut and locked behind us.

    I know it's unbelievable, but every word is just as it happened.
