Court Appearance

"Robbing Lawyers"

A gang of robbers broke into a lawyer's club
by mistake. The old legal lions gave them
a fight for their life and their money. The gang
was very happy to escape.

"It ain't so bad," one crook noted. "We got $25
between us."

The boss screamed: "I warned you to stay clear
of lawyers. We had $100 when we broke in!"

"Court Appearance"

A New York man was forced to take a day off from
work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He
grew increasingly restless as he waited hour
after endless hour for his case to be heard.

When his name was called late in the afternoon,
he stood before the judge, only to hear that court
would be adjourned for the rest of the afternoon
and he would have to return the next day.

"What for?" he snapped at the judge.

His honor, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp
query, roared, "Twenty dollars contempt of court.
That's why!"

Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the
judge relented.

"That's all right. You don't have to pay now."

The young man replied, "I'm just seeing if I have
enough for two more words."
