THIS MADE ME LAUGH

To make up for our failure to update this blog for months, here are some cool jokes from a book called Disorder in the Court. These are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Some of these are excellent - don't miss the last one.
