Chapter 334

He said, "Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?"

Miscommunication.

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband"s parents."

He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don"t necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma"am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don"t want a divorce," she replied. "I"ve never wanted a divorce.

My husband does. He said he can"t communicate with me."

Pity for the Husband.

The local courtroom was packed as testimony began in the sentencing hearing of a woman convicted of murdering her husband of 20 years by poisoning his coffee.

The defense attorney knew he had his work cut out for him trying to make his client appear more sympathetic to the Judge, especially since she had been so "matter-of-fact" about the whole thing all during the trial.

"Mrs. Roth," he began, "was there any point that morning where you felt pity for your husband ?"

"Well... yeah... I guess..." she replied.

"And when was that?" pressed the attorney.

"Well...," she replied, "when he asked for his third cup."

Proof from New York City.

A quiet little man was brought before a judge. The judge looked down at the man and then at the charges and then down at the little man in amazement.

"Can you tell me in your own words what happened?" he asked the man.

"I"m a mathematician dealing in the nature of proof."

"Yes, go on," said the astounded judge.

"Well, I was at the library and I found the books I wanted and went to take them out. They told me my library card had expired and I had to get a new one. So I went to the registration office and got in another line. And filled out my forms for another card. And got back in line for my card."

"And?" said the judge.

"And he asked "Can you prove you"re from New York City?" ....

So I stabbed him."

Pulled Over for Speeding.

The sheriff of the a Kansas town pulled over a Porsche that was doing 75 miles per hour in a 35-mile an hour zone.

The man behind the wheel, a Chicago commodities trader, was steaming. When he was finally brought before the local magistrate, he exploded, "I can"t believe you stopped me. This town must be the a.s.shole of the world!"

The magistrate looked at him and replied, "And you must be what"s pa.s.sing through."

Rubbish Dumping.

A man was hailed into court for dumping rubbish in a forbidden area.

The judge asked, "Didn"t you see the sign posted there?"

"Yes sir, I sure did," replied the man.

"It says real plain in big letters ...

"FINE FOR DUMPING"!""

Second Chance on Drugs.

Two guys were picked up by the cops for smoking dope and appeared in court before the judge.

The judge said, "You seem like nice young men, and I"d like to give you a second chance rather than jail time. I want you to go out this weekend and try to show others the evils of drug use and get them to give up drugs forever. I"ll see you back in court Monday."

Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the first one "How did you do over the weekend?

""Well, your honor, I persuaded 17 people to give up drugs forever."

"17 people? That"s wonderful. What did you tell them?"

"I used a diagram, your honor. I drew two circles and told them this (the big circle) is your brain before drugs and this (small circle) is your brain after drugs."

"That"s admirable," said the judge. The judge turns and asks the second guy, "And you, how did you do?"

"Well, your honor, I persuaded 156 people to give up drugs forever."

"156 people! That"s amazing! How did you manage to do that!"

"Well, I used the same two circles. I pointed to the small circle and told them, "this is your a.n.u.s before prison.""

Testifying in his Divorce.

A salesman was testifying in his divorce trial against his wife. "Please describe," said his attorney, "the incident that first caused you to entertain suspicions as to your wife"s fidelity."

"Well, I"m pretty much on the road all week," the man testified. "So naturally when I am home, I"m attentive to the wife."

"One Sunday morning," he continued, "we were in the midst of heavy love-making when the old lady in the apartment next door pounded on the wall and yelled, "Can"t you at least stop all that racket on the weekends?""
