Conference room, yesterday afternoon:
Zimmerman defense attorney Mark O'Mara: Look, Don, I know how much you love knock-knock jokes. But are you sure the opening statement of a murder trial is an appropriate setting for one?
Zimmerman defense attorney Don West: If there is one place where a knock-knock joke is most appropriate, it's a murder trial.
O'Mara: Listen, Don, let's—
West: Knock-knock.
O'Mara: No, come on, Don, not now. West: Knock-knock.
O'Mara: [Sighs.] Who's there?
West: Mark.
O'Mara: Mark who?
West: Mark who should just shut his stupid face because he doesn't know the first thing about being a trial lawyer, or knock-knock jokes, and should just go order the Chinese food like he said he was going to do half an hour ago and should not forget to ask for brown rice instead of white rice, like he did last time.
O'Mara: Okay, Don. That's not even a joke — that's just a string of insults. West: Knock-knock.
Lamest opening line in an opening statement ever! The defense lawyer seems really like a dry guy which is okay but dry guys probably should not be in the joke business as a general matter.
Knock-Knock!
Who’s There?
Anne
Anne Who?
Anne Acquittal would be nice!
Ba-dah-bum!

Knock-Knock!
Who’s There?
Betty

Betty wishes he stayed in the car now!
Ba-da-bum!
I remember this one from 20 years ago:
Knock-knock.
Who’s there?
Amy Fisher.
Amy Fisher wh... [BANG!]
I don’t know what the point & relevance of that text is, but the video is...scary stupid.
My favorite knock, knock joke was the one used in the movie “Catch Me If You Can”.
Didn’t work for me; I was shot.

One man is dead and another is on trial for his life - not a time for telling a joke.
I couldn’t believe it.Shocked.
My mugger seemed to be more about cash and quick turnover than mayhem - news reports indicated he hit about six people that night.
I had to plug in my speakers and hear it to believe it. I’d fire him the very hour.
ps: GZ is starting to look like Chaz Bono.
I don’t think it was as so much a joke as he was trying to get a point across - the point being - who HASN’T heard of George Zimmerman.
That was 1974; I’m still carrying that .32cal. State law is that if a hospital takes out a bullet, the cops get it as ‘evidence’; I want to wear it around my neck on a chain if they remove it. So it stays put. I was lucky. It missed all organs/bones etc, and didn’t even bleed. Just a large red lump on my side w/ a black dot in the center. Can’t hardly even see the scar, now.
When a comment requires that much apologetic lead-in, find another way of making the point.
EPIC FAIL
The cops get a 39 year old bullet? If you found a reasonable person at the local law enforcement, I assume you could make an agreement?

Go to Nevada and have it taken out there.
