First Time In Court

I'm scheduled for my first hearing this Friday. It's not on my case, it is on Lindsay's case. So, she has offered me some words of encouragement along the lines of "If you screw this up, I will gut you like a fish."

I'm feeling pretty good about this. What could go wrong?

Top ten things you don't want to hear the judge say your first day in court:

10:Get out.

9: Weren't you the guy that hit on my wife last night.

8:We were set for trial today, weren't we. Bailiff, bring in the panel.

7: Case dismissed.

6: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

5: Didn't I decide this yesterday.

4: I agree with you in principle, i just think you're wrong.

3: Your law is sound, but I believe I have substantial discretion here.

2: Before we begin I've been considering this court's jurisdiction...

1: If you cite me that case one more time, I'll hold you in contempt!

Good luck Poseur, we're all pulling for you !!!!!

Lindsay, please don't gut him like a fish. That would make me sad. :(

Love,
Matt

How did it go??? [Note: I will assume that if you do not respond, the result was less than favorable prompting the Sherpinator to attack]
