These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court. They were taken down by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm, while the exchanges were taking place.

In the old days of 702 talk radio, I heard that buffoon Berks answer the phone with a very similar line of chat.

It went more like this

Berks: Hello 702 ... blah (setting scene).

Caller: Hello John, I've got three boys and I would like to say ... *cut off*

B: Hello my dear, do you have any children?

C: Yes, John, I've three boys, and I think .... *cut off*

B: Got any boys?

C: Yes, John I've got three boys and I would like to say .... *cut off*

B: Are they boys or girls?

C: I've got three boys, John, and I think ... *cut off*

B: So how many boys have you got?

C: I've got three boys, John I think it's .... *cut off*

B: OK, my dear, you go ahead and tell us what's on your mind.

C: I can't remember.

I may have paraphrased a bit, but not much.
