File :-(, x)
I was taking part in a moot court exercise, representing a factory owner trying to collect on his fire insurance after his factory burned down. The insurance company thought the fire was purposely set, so they weren't paying and they maintained that the owner hired an arsonist to torch the place. A witness testified that the suspected employee was an arsonist. On cross-examination, I asked how this employee (who is dead and unavailable to answer these wild charges) acted like an arsonist. "Did he set fires? Did he wear a 'proud to be an arsonist' T-shirt? Would he light matches, gaze lovingly into the flame and whisper 'patience, little friend; one day I will feed you the WORLD'?"
The witness' response was "What the shit?"
