Scratching Himself In Contempt
When one county judge wanted to remedy the missed
court appearance by the defensive attorney, he first
asked for a reasonable explanation for the absense.
The lawyer replied that he, "had the screaming itches
of the crotch. I wasn't here because I would have
been scratching my testicles constantly." The judge
was not satisfied by this explanation so he held him
in contempt; then doubled his fine for what he felt
was a "degrading" excuse. [Judge one; jock-itch zero.]
