Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

I swear, I'll do something on my own soon. But until then, enjoy this quote from Overheard in the Office:

He Aced the Mixed Drinks Portion of the Bar Exam

Defense attorney: Objection, Your Honor. The prosecution continues to assert this witness is an expert but has offered no evidence to support the claim.
Judge: Sustained. Mr. Martin*, is this witness your expert?
Prosecutor: Yes, Your Honor.
Judge: Would you care to establish for the court why the witness is an expert in the field of pediatrics?
Prosecutor: Cause he...ummm...knows stuff?

THis sound more like the lawyering of a beer drinker, and he may not, therefore, have passed the mixed drinks portion of the bar. Hell, it sounds like he may not have ever passed a bar in his life; instead, stopping to imbibe at any bar he comes across.
