So I was in court for moral support of my brother during his divorce hearings recently. Boy, will I have a lot of material from a half-day in court. Here is one gem.
We were in chancery court. Half or more of the cases were divorce related. At one point, this conversation was had between the plaintiff (female), and the defendant's attorney:
-----
Counsel: "And, Mrs. Plaintiff, who is the doctor that has advised you to continue breast-feeding your son until the age of four?"
Plaintiff: "That would be Doctor Smith*. He's my chiropractor."
Counsel: "Chiropractor??? You asked a chiropractor for lactation advice?"
Plaintiff: "Yes."
Counsel: "What did your son's pediatrician say about breast-feeding for so long?"
Plaintiff: (looks confused) "Nothing. We don't have a pediatrician. We don't believe in them."
-----
*Chiropractor's name not really "Dr. Smith" - changed name to protect the innocent... and the ignorant in this case.
