Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. "So," he said, "I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe." Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. "You , attorney Leon; gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000." The judge reached into his pocket & pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon.... "Now then, I'm returning $5,000 & we're going to decide this case solely on its merits." |
