I was taught there were 4 answers no matter what: yes, no, I don't know and I don't remember, whether a deposition or on the stand. And never ever ramble on.
And the last time I was involved in a legal matter, the lawyer became frustrated, threw his hands up in the air, and harshly told me that I was excused. And I'm sure you guys (and gals) would be very surprised by that fact, but it actually happened.
