I had to go to a deposition for my company once, among other issues, I had written a joke in an e-mail about some poorly written code ("no wonder they want to sue us"), the lawyers did not find that funny.

But I was also told not to prepare at all for the disposition. Our lawyers preferred me to say "I can't recall" than to actually study up and refresh my memory on the product in question.

Lawyers have zero sense of humor when on the job. Every casual comment gives them an opportunity to attack.
