Does this give new meaning to the saying "Lawyer, lawyer, pants on fire"?

This can’t have worked out well for the defendant.

What would the judge say about this? (After he/she stopped laughing)

If it was not staged, it was certainly a hullava coincidence.

Never heard it worded that way, only “Liar, liar, pants on fire.”

In my experience, lawyers always lie and they break the law more than most.

Lawyers’ reputation notwithstanding, I agree with @kritiper: it’s “liar, liar.”

I laughed out loud at the article, though.

You guys! @elbanditoroso was just being punny! Lighten up. ha ha!

It is possible for an ecigarette battery to catch on fire so why not? I’m trying to fact check this particular story it but everything is hanging up. Grrr.

It sounds like an example of what Carl Jung called synchronicity

Yes, ecigs DO catch fire.
I saw security cam footage on the news showing it happen to a kid in a convenience store.

OMG! Check youtube. People have had them explode in their face. One guy had his neck broken!

kritiper's avatar

I heard the report on the news about the guy’s pants catching fire so I see the humor now.
