In a trial on distribution of cocaine, a prosecutor is questioning the defendant on the stand:
Q: You didn't see any actual drugs?
A: No, sir.
Q: Would you know what they looked like if you saw them?
A: Yes, it's advertised on TV, too, sometimes in the commercials
Q: You see drugs advertised on TV?
A:Yes, you know, on news or something like that.
Q: And that's the only time you've ever seen drugs?
A: Roughly, yes.
Q: Roughly?
A: Yes.
The prosecutor then went on to prove that the defendant had failed three drug tests during the course of his pre-trial release.
