You can't make this stuff up (#3)

One of the things I need to do in my job is ask patients about substance abuse history because use of alcohol and illegal drugs can affect thinking abilities, depending on how significant the history of use was. So I am interviewing a patient about this topic who is telling me about how someone in his house was arrested for selling drugs. He tells me that he was also arrested. I asked why he was arrested and he started to clam up. "Were you selling drugs too?" I asked. The patient looked away, seemed embarrassed and said, "Well, not by the law."

REALLY???!!!!!!! That has to be the quote of the year.
