An Uninspiring Memoir:
My Life as a Courtroom Judge, by Daphne (excerpt below)
Lawyer: "Your Honor, it is obvious that my client is mentally ill and was framed for this crime and is innocent."
The Court:"Why?"
Lawyer: "Uh... I... what do you mean, why, Your Honor?"
The Court: I... said... WHY!"
Lawyer: "Um, yes, I'm sorry, Your Honor.... um, so that my client..."
The Court: "NO! Not 'so that'! You have to say BECAUSE when I say WHY!"

Just a little reminder that the world could be a little worse off than it is.
