Question the First: When someone is testifying under oath, the attorney doing the questioning normally tells that witness to let the attorney know if s/he doesn't understand a question, so that the attorney can rephrase it. So what happens later when it's clear to everyone in the room except the witness that the witness is so utterly clueless about the meaning of the question the attorney just asked that the witness doesn't even realize s/he doesn't get it--and thus is incapable of recognizing the need to ask that the question be rephrased?
Question the Second: What is it about ESPN's "This is Sportscenter" ads and the St. Louis Cardinals? The single funniest "This is Sportscenter" ad of all time is the one wherein Mark McGwire beats the crap out of a computer (with a baseball bat, of course) after ESPN's Y2K test goes very, very wrong. But the one airing now, featuring Albert Pujols, is a close second. Two Sportscenter anchors are teasing Albert about being "The Machine" while Albert is making photocopies. As seen from Albert's perspective, his mechanical brain is evaluating what they are saying and deciding NOT to eliminate them while he verbally is denying being a machine. After the anchors leave the room, the photocopier asks Albert why he didn't eliminate them, and Albert tells the photocopier to shut up. Hilarious!
It's been a slow week. Either that, or I am so out-of-sorts from watching the current crop of local and national political shenanigans that I want to avoid serious subjects. At least for a while.
