| Koohii Story 1 | After intense cross-examination from the prosecutor, the tree confessed to murdering the wood-pecker with an awl... "He just kept at it, he kept poking at me with that beak, so I thought I'd see how HE liked it!!" The autopsy examination revealed at least a dozen puncture wounds, what a brutal case. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Don´t confuse with exam (#1278), test (#354), evaluate (#1487). Think of examination as a doctor´s examination. You´re having problems getting wood in bed. You go in for a doctor´s examination. The doctor shoves an icepick into your manhood as part of the examination. |
