Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers.
"I have received from both of you, a bribe."
The lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. "You Lawyer John, gave me $15,000 and you Lawyer Allan, gave me $10,000."
The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a cheque and handed it to John and said, "I am returning $5,000 and I will decide this case on it's merits."
Thank goodness if it was on their jokes they'd both loose or the case could go on for years :D
Oh you're a hard case.:DQuote:

Nothing like an honest judge.:)
It was in Reader's Digest in the 1960's. Still makes me laugh - a magistrate who took bribes would just keep the lot & leave the clients guessing about who paid 'enough' - DAMHIK.
