An attorney was defending a case on behalf of a modular home vendor. The Plaintiff, a purchaser of a modular home, sold and set up by the vendor, had sued when his home developed substantial cracks in its ceilings and walls. The Plaintiff was on the stand and had just testified about the cracks his home had experienced, when the following occured:
Plaintiff's Counsel: "Tell me sir, why do you think your home developed cracks in the ceilings and walls?"

Plaintiff: "-- that's exactly the problem, your client tried to put this home on cinder block, which is a lack of foundation!!"
