Dramatic Chinese Drywall Confrontation: When Did You Stop Liking The Smell of Farts?

In a dramatic turnaround, Chinese Drywall defendant Banner Supply's controller Scott Giering recanted his fart-embracing deposition testimony on the stand yesterday:

The first witness to take the stand was Banner controller Scott Giering, who had said during a deposition that some people might actually like the smell caused by drywall in some homes -- that of rotten eggs or flatulence.

"I truly regret that statement that some people like that smell or enjoy that smell,'' Giering said. "I would prefer not to live in a house that smells like rotten eggs.''

Under an ENTIRELY FICTIONAL cross-examination, however, Giering's tough anti-fart stand evaporated into the ether, leaving only the faint taint of warmed-over Indian food:

Ervin Gonzalez: Did you or did you not tell me in your deposition that some people like farts?

Scott Giering: Yes, I did. But I have an explanation.

EG: You do? Go ahead and share your "flatulence epiphany" with the jury.

SG: I prayed for guidance, and realized in my heart that farts truly do smell bad.

EG: Oh sure you did.

SG: No, really, my testimony today is the truth. I'm sorry for any confusion.

EG: {Ppwwwwwtttt}

SG: (uncomfortable silence)

EG: (turns rear towards witness and waves hands furiously)

SG: Oh god. Oh oh god. (starts crying) That's lovely, that's truly lovely! My is that aroma amazing.....please one more, oh God oh oh.......

EG: (glances knowingly at jury) I have nothing further, your honor.
