the merry stenographer

How else to describe the emotions inevitably felt by whoever recorded these courtroom gems? Yeah, I know these probably make the e-mail rounds every once in a while, but some considerate soul has made a permanent home for them on the Internet, where they will await your most dire moment of need.

You get the idea. How come we never hear lines like these on "The Practice"?
