Nasty Court Deal
Rating: PG
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
A defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums 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."
"But I did send them."
"What?? You did???"
"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."
