Den enda trösten är att min nya tv-favorit, detective John Munch är så djefla skön.
Munch: Miss Webber was told to disrobe, put her feet up in stirrups, and try to picture David Hasselhoff on Baywatch.
Defense Attorney: Objection! Your honor, this witness is not qualified to testify on the treatment for hysteria.
Munch: Actually, sir, I am. Up until 1952, hysteria was one of the most commonly diagnosed illnesses among women. The medical treatment was hysterical peroxism.
Court Reporter: Could the witness spell that?
Munch: O-R-G-A-S-M
Defense: Objection! Would it surprise you to learn that, historically, the onus fell upon physicians to bring about the relief of these ladies' symptoms?
Prosecution: Your honour, please instruct counsel to withold his questions until cross.
Munch: I don't mind, your honour. In fact, I believe the manual version of this treatment dates back to Hippocrates and was attested to right up through the Middle Ages, up until the 1890s, when the vibrator was invented to speed things along.
Prosecution and Defense: (in unison) Objection!
Judge: Sustained.
Prosecution: Detective, is this practice currently against the law?
Munch: Yes. And so is videotaping it.
