Daily Joke: Long Day in Court

A man was forced to take a day off work to appear in court on a minor charge. After waiting all day for his case to be heard, he was finally called before the judge late in the afternoon. But no sooner had the defendant stood in the dock than the judge announced that the court would be adjourneduntil the following day.

Tired at the end of a long day, the judge rapped back: “Twenty dollars, contempt of court!”

Then noticing the defendant checking his wallet, the judge softened and said: “It’s all right. You don’t have to pay now.”

“I wasn’t going to,” replied the defendant. “I was just seeing if I have enough money for two more words!”
