I was totally snowed in yesterday (Get it: "Snowed in," "Snowden?") and totally missed the news of the beginning of the George Zimmerman (shooting of Trayvon Martin (who "looks like my son if I had a son:" President Obama.)) trial in which the defense attorney began his "Opening statement" to the jury thusly:

"Knock knock." (Sayeth counsel for the accused.)
"Who's there?" (Sayeth same)
"George Zimmerman." (Same)
"George Zimmerman who?" (Ditto)
"Congratulations, you're on the jury."  (")

I understand that there has been a great deal of criticism of the defense attorney for beginning his opening statement to the jury thusly; a great deal of "piling on" in fact and I, Benjamin Harris, would like to say, I join the pile.
