Adjourned
A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons.
He grew increasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be heard.
When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned and he would have to return the next day.
'What for?' he snapped at the judge.
His honour, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp query roared, 'Twenty dollars contempt of court. That's why!'
Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge relented. 'That's all right. You don't have to pay now.'
The young man replied, 'I'm just seeing if I have enough for two more words.'

Reminds me of the story about the bloke in court and the judge says, "Before I pass sentence do you have anything to say?" To which the bloke muttered, "Bu§§er all!" The judge turned to one of the barristers and said, "What did he say?" "He said "Bu§§er all", milord."
"Funny" said the judge, "I thought I saw his lips move."
