I sensed a judge’s anguish, today, as she subtly struggled twice (and crashed) to enlighten a university registrar that, although the people of Liberia are famous for achieving higher education, it is not every university in the world that has a Liberian student or lecturer. So, the clueless registrar made off from the courtroom not knowing that what he really wanted to say was “Librarian”.
I've heard this mixup so many times now, but I still cringe
ReplyDeleteYou should be glad the judge didn't mix up their Ls n Rs. Come to think of it, were you fully concentrating on your client's issues. lol!
ReplyDeleteSo judgment was made on the basis of a Liberian rather than Librarian? That is sad!
