I'm no rookie. I've got the one handed release down patHelpful suggestion: text okCupid Date that she should go bra-less tonight so you don't have to fumble around later.
That'll remove any awkward moments this evening.

A guy I knew growing up had a father that was a dentist. The kid would steal Novocain and bring it to school and shoot it with some friends. In like 5th grade

Seriously? I'm all for trying to switch up on fapping to keep it fresh, but that just sounds dysfunctional.

Oh Abe, if this sort of thing happened when we made fun of you we'd all be running away from boulders chasing us through hallways, Indiana Jones style.That sucks. Call work and tell them to wait for you.
As a note, maybe this happened because you made fun of my baby name list...?

Anybody used the new "Graph Search" on Facebook yet? Sadly, I think it cuts into some of the recently discussed business opportunities - not that I've been spending the last hour searching for things like "Single women in Baltimore that like The Replacements" or anything.
Not to mention it's way easier to get pictures of people who have private profiles. Instead of just going to their profile and being blocked if their pics are private, now you can search for "Photos of NAME" and every pic they're tagged in will show up.
It's a hugely creepy invasion of privacy. Of which I seemingly can't get enough.

I'm honestly considering killing my FB account for stuff like this. It's just ridiculous what can be grabbed via searches.

Hey lawyer types. Has anyone ever punched you while you were taking their deposition?? Would the court reporter write that down?? When a depondent (is that I would be??) answers your question in a way you don't like, why must you keep asking the question just with an emphasis on a different part of it??
On a slightly different topic, if you are reviewing two depositions from two eyewitnesses, and they contradict each other, one of them agrees with your assumptions of what happened, how do you answer the question of "Why don't you believe the other person?" Now what if two people agree with you, and a third has a different statement, shouldn't I be able to take the two peoples word over the one??
I hate lawyers, but none of you.

The court reporter records words, and certain other events (such as the arrival or departure of someone in the deposition proceedings) and nothing more. So, if I was punched, I'd have to sound like a complete tight-### and make a record by saying something along the lines of, "the witness has just punched me in the mouth".
No, I've never been punched by a deponent (the proper word, BTW), though I've certainly pissed off quite a few people (surprise, right?) - I'm usually pretty business-like and don't act like an A hole as that tends to only obstruct what I'm doing; I in fact often can get at least decent working rapport with most witnesses, who tend to appreciate a more efficient, businesslike approach.
With witnesses with disagreeing testimony, most of the time the disparity is left up to the lawyer to argue later as to what it means, but it's certainly fair to ask if one person can explain why their recollection/observation differs from another (without speculating of course). Sometimes they can explain that they had a better view of an event, for example, but usually that's just speculation - it's hard to get into others' minds and know what they saw.
On this last point, I've concluded over the years that people don't lie as much as we're tempted to think when there are different recollections. Often people just experienced something differently, and we all tend to notice different things, such as two people observing a third in a conversation where one person is more attuned to language and speech, and the other to body language and posture. We aren't nearly as reliable and objective as historians and reporters as we like to think, particularly when there's stress or emotion involved.
Asking the same question over and over is a sign of inept lawyering, either on the part of the questioner or the attorney defending the witness or both. I don't do that and I tend to rag on attorneys who do, always objecting "asked and answered" and perhaps "argumentative" if they're trying to restate the prior answer in asking a new one but not doing it accurately. Ultimately, if it's my witness and it's continuing despite my protests, I will start to instruct the witness not to answer the (repeated) questions.
I particularly hate it when the attorney persists despite the witness answering "I don't know" or "I don't remember". While the attorney can make some attempt to jog the witness's memory with additional questions, all too often it seems like attorneys are simply try to invite a speculative answer. A key rule which attorneys often forget is that if a witness answers a question, you are entitled to assume they understood a question as phrased (because the witness is entitled to ask for clarification or restatement/rewording of a question before answering).
Sometimes, though, I'll realize that the wording of my question was a bit sloppy or potentially ambiguous, so I'll go back and restate it to tighten it up. I'm human and make plenty of mistakes during an hours-long deposition. I don't gather that that sort of occasional event is what you're referring to.

Watching the morning news with Mrs. Ignoramus and the story about the US no longer being the fattest nation in the world was teased and then they went to commercial. I say, "I bet it's Mexico. What do you think?"
She ponders for a second and replies "I don't know, Europe?"
