NEXT, WE'LL BE SEEING THE "GARY COLEMAN DEFENSE:" Spurred by this opinion which discusses at some length the "Sergeant Schultz Defense," in which a party claims to be unaware of something despite all evidence to the contrary, I'd like to propose a few other defenses.
The "Mike LaFontaine Defense"--In products liability cases, a way of expressing utter shock about how a product responded to unusual situations, simply by asking "Wha' Happened?"
The "Clara Peller Defense"--When a plaintiff is unable to present a sufficient case, the defense responds with one simple question--"Where's The Beef?"
The "Chico and the Man Defense"--Where an individual is sued for failing to undertake a certain responsibility, his response is simply "It's not my job!"
The "Family Feud Defense"--In a trademark case, where a survey is the most critical evidence, the judge simply shouts "Survey Says!" and waits for the buzzer or bell to sound.
Other creative defenses? You know what to do.
