During the cross-examination of a young physician in a lawsuit, the
plaintiff's lawyer made disagreeable remarks about the witness's youth
and inexperience.
"You claim to be acquainted with the various symptoms attending
concussion of the brain?" asked the lawyer.
"I do."
"We will take a concrete case," continued the lawyer. "If my learned
friend, counsel for the defence, and myself were to bang our heads
together, would he get concussion of the brain?"
The young physician smiled. "The probabilities are," he replied, "that
the counsel for the defence would."
