Funny how one thing leads to another, isn't it?
A story recounted by David Crystal in his Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Enlish Language goes:-
"Ever on the search for legal jokes... I consulted a friend who is still practising. She said that a member of her chambers was in court one Monday morning when the judge said, "I'm afraid we'll have to adjourn this case. I have written my judgment out but I left it at my cottage in Devon and can't get it sent here until tomorrow." "Fax it up my Lord," the helpful barrister suggested, to which his Lordship replied, "Yes, it does rather."
