In a semi-small city, a judge was presiding over a drunk-driving case when the accused, who was known for his history of drunk driving, asked for a trial by jury. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the process of selecting a jury would take some time. As a result, the judge ordered a recess and walked out into the hallway to hunt for people who were willing to serve on the jury. In the main lobby, he located twelve lawyers and informed them that they were on the jury.
The lawyers felt it would be an interesting experience, so they followed the judge back into the courtroom. The trial ended in about 10 minutes, and it was evident that the defendant was guilty. The judge began preparing to leave, the jury entered the jury room, and everyone waited.
After nearly three hours, the judge lost patience and sent the bailiff into the jury room to check what was causing the delay in the verdict. After the bailiff came back, the judge inquired, "Well, have they got a verdict yet?"
"Verdict?" the bailiff asked, shaking his head. They're continuing to give speeches to nominate people for the role of foreman!
Judge: 'Do you wish to challenge any of the jury?
Prisoner: 'Well, I think I can lick that little fellow on this end...'
Judge: You say you want a divorce because your husband is careless about his appearance?
