Actually, it's generally a very proper workplace -- the comment came from another firm. I arranged my face into a ladylike smirk meant to indicate that while I got the joke and was not offended, I certainly considered it inappropriate for the workplace, as the partner whose office I was sitting in glanced nervously at me.
Our local cable company is Cox Communications. Be assured that whenever there's a problem with the internet connection, I mutter "Stupid Cox" under my breath, and then giggle.
8 -- hm. So you think #3 was punning on "cox" and meaning to say, "we are all bringing our penes forward to testify"? It was a sort of lame pun either way but I thought he was saying "we are all dropping trou and flashing our dicks."
Whoa.

Did you successfully resist the urge to mutter "At the Mineshaft"?

You do know the expert witness acronym, "witness having other reasonable explanation," right?

No, but I plan to make heavy usage of it from now on.

Does "producing" in the sense in which Counsel #2 used it mean, "bringing forward to testify"?

That could have been the sense in whivh #3 was using it too.

"Please indicate for the record the hottest cocounsel....Let the record reflect that the penis became erect and pointed to Lizard E. Breath, esq."

In context, I believe he was commenting on the personalities of the witnesses available to us.
