Attorney: Now Doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
Witness: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
------------------------------------
The non-violence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached â their faith in human progress â must always be the North Star that guides us on our journey.
For if we lose that faith â if we dismiss it as silly or naïve; if we divorce it from the decisions that we make on issues of war and peace â then we lose what is best about humanity. We lose our sense of possibility. We lose our moral compass.
Like generations have before us, we must reject that future. As Dr. King said at this occasion so many years ago, âI refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the âisness' of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal âoughtness' that forever confronts him.â
So...Expand for more
let us reach for the world that ought to be â that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls. Somewhere today, in the here and now, a soldier sees he's outgunned but stands firm to keep the peace. Somewhere today, in this world, a young protestor awaits the brutality of her government, but has the courage to march on. Somewhere today, a mother facing punishing poverty still takes the time to teach her child, who believes that a cruel world still has a place for his dreams.
Let us live by their example. We can acknowledge that oppression will always be with us, and still strive for justice. We can admit the intractability of depravation, and still strive for dignity. We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace. We can do that â for that is the story of human progress; that is the hope of all the world; and at this moment of challenge, that must be our work here on Earth. (Obama)

Judge: You may call your next witness.
Defense Attorney: Your Honor, at this time I would like to swat [opposing counsel] on the head with his client's deposition.
Judge: You mean read it?
Defense Attorney: No, Sir. I mean to swat him on the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use the deposition "for any purpose" and that's the purpose I want to use it for.
Judge: Well, it does say that.
(Quiet pause) Judge: There being no objection, you may proceed. Defense Attorney: Thank you, Judge. (Thereafter, Defendant's attorney swatted plaintiff's attorney on the head with the deposition)
