Frank Lamb Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Having had to take the day off work to appear in court for a minor traffic summons, the man was growing increasingly restless as he waited hour after hour for his case to be heard. Finally, late in the afternoon, his case was called. He stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned until the next day and he would have to return. "What!" What for?" he yelled at the judge. His Honor, equally irritated by a tedious day and the sharp query, roared, "That will be twenty dollars for contempt of court! That's what for!" Noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge added, "That's all right. You don't have to pay right now." The man replied, "Oh, I'm just looking to see if I have enough for two more words!"
