1. "Govern yourself accordingly": I saw a comment that Zoom had learned
this
phrase from one of his recent court cases. Not true...This has been one
of the
Zoomer's perennials; one he's used for decades. It was used AT him by
the
Federal judge in his first lawsuit against Sun-N-Fun:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE COURT (i.e. The Honorable Richard A. Lazzara, Unites States District
Judge):
Excuse me, excuse me, he asks the questions --

THE WITNESS (i.e., James R. Campbell): I do know Mr. Jones.

THE COURT: Excuse me, I'm not through yet.

THE WITNESS: Oh, I apologize.

THE COURT: He asks the questions, you give an answer. Do not editorialize,
do
not characterize.

THE WITNESS: Oops. It's my job. Sorry, sir.

THE COURT: You know, Mr. Campbell, maybe it hasn't dawned on you, but
you're in
a Federal Courtroom now.

THE WITNESS: Yes, sir, I understand that.

THE COURT: Okay, and you're going to conduct yourself accordingly.

THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.

THE COURT: All right?

THE WITNESS: Okay.

THE COURT: I don't want anymore flippant remarks like that.

I found no issue with 'this' answer. I thought the remark was lucid ...and
funny - not forcibly clever, or flippant.

(From the web)
Lucid:
1. rational, and mentally clear, especially only for a period between
episodes of delirium or psychosis

"forcibly clever" ...??
