Sometimes, life is just too technical...

"Marriage License"
A couple arrived at town hall seconds before closing
time, and caught a judge just as he was about to
leave, and asked him to marry them. He asked if
they had a license and, when they didn't, sent
them off to get one.
They caught the town clerk just as he was locking
up, and got the license from him. When they got
back to the judge, he pointed out they had filled the
names in backwards -- his where hers belonged
and vice versa. They rushed back to the clerk's
office, caught him again, and got another license.
This time, the judge noticed that the clerk had
filled in the date in the wrong format. Again they
catch the clerk... After five reissued licenses, the
judge is finally satisfied.
Judge: "I hope you appreciate why I made you keep
going back. If there are irregularities in the license,
your marriage would not be legal, and any children
you might have would be technical bastards."
Groom: "That's funny - that's just what the clerk
called you."

Judge: Is there any reason you could not serve as
a juror in this case?
Juror: I don't want to be away from my job that long.
Judge: Can't they do without you at work?
Juror: Yes, but I don't want them to know it.

"Solomon's Decision"
Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced
the opposing lawyers. "So," he said, "I have been
presented, by both of you, with a bribe."
Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. "You,
attorney Leon, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney
Campos, gave me $10,000." The judge reached
into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed
it to Leon.
.. "Now then, I'm returning $5,000, and we're going
to decide this case solely on its merits."
