A slight exaggeration?

I was on a deposition with a very nice attorney, who is usually very patient. This particular witness was exaggerating about everything. His own attorney even told him, "Just tell the truth."

Q On a scale of one to ten what was your pain?
A Ten.
Q If I sawed your leg with a rusty saw what would the pain be?
MR. ATTORNEY: I know that you are going to object.

The witness's attorney was laughing so hard that he couldn't object. Luckily I have long hair because I had to put my head down so they wouldn't see me holding back my own laughter.
