The local District Judge had
given the defendant a lecture on the evils
of drink. But in view of
the fact that this was the first time the man
had been drunk and
incapable, the case was dismissed on payment of ten
shillings costs.
„Now don’t let me ever see your face again,“ said the Justice
sternly as the defendant turned to go.
„I’m afraid I
can’t promise that, sir,“ said the released man.
„And why not?“
„Because I’m the barman at your regular pub!“
