:)A New York man was forced totake a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He grewincreasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his caseto be heard.
When his name was called late in the afternoon, hestood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned forthe next day and he would have to return the next day.
"What for?" he snapped at the judge.
His honor, 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."
