Uber-geek on the stand

And geeks who know humans don't understand it--when we affirm a negative
question to confirm it--try and remember to say, "That's right, they did
not have a full stack".

When the going gets tough... change the problem.

I'm still never sure when "next weekend" is, though.

A normal person wouldn't admit to "not having a full stack", since it
sounds like "only half a shilling" or "got off at Paisley"
or "only firing on two cylinders" or any number of such expressions.

In court, above all, I would answer the question that is asked, rather than the
one that is implied. You might say geekish, I will say accurate.

That does not sound particularly geeky, to me.
