Another Joke

Justice, there is JUSTICE.   There has to be or humanity will be tarnished.  And, when I think of Justice, I think of Century Village. Will there be justice for those who have committed immoral and criminal acts?  Think of Paving.

I’m going to lighten up a bit and tell you something comical about “Justice” that I heard recently.

JUSTICE

Ah, Justice . . .

A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sum of money was talking to his lawyer.  “If I lose this case, I’ll be ruined.”

“It’s in the judge’s hands now,” said the lawyer.

“Would it help if I sent the judge a box of cigars?”

“Oh no!  This judge is a stickler for ethical behavior.  A stunt like that would prejudice him against you.  He might even hold you in contempt of court.  In fact, you shouldn’t even smile at the judge.”

Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision in favor of the defendant.  As the defendant left the courthouse, he said to his lawyer, “Thanks for the tip about the cigars.  It worked!”

            “I’m sure we would have lost the case if you’d sent them,” responded the lawyer.

“But, I did send them.”

“What?  You did?” said the lawyer, incredulously.

“Yes.  That’s how we won the case.”

“I don’t understand,” said the lawyer.

            “It’s easy.  I sent the cigars to the judge, but enclosed the plaintiff’s business card.”
