Funny anecdote - my friend is a county prosecutor, and occasionally gets "pro se" defendants, trying to do it themselves. He had one such gentleman on trial, representing himself. He was called to testify, and decided he was going to plead the fifth on specific questions he didn't want to answer while on the stand, which isn't how it works. The judge had to explain to him that he had already waived his right to plead the fifth, and was going to have to answer honestly under oath, not a good look in front of a jury.
