    I mean the simple response from the lawyer is, “Objection, relevance,” and the question gets tossed out.

    I demand accuracy in my jokes, even if it kills them.

      “Objection, relevance?”

      “Public interest.”

      (Though in my joke I meant his lawyer, instead of objecting, would entreat his client to answer the question)

        Ah, I understand now. [MODIFYING JOKE MATRIX TO ACCOMMODATE NEW INFORMATION]

        “Your honor, I need to fire my lawyer.”

        “Mr Newell, no competent lawyer in this country would defend you on this point. If you do not answer the question I will hold you in contempt.”
