Taking his seat in his court chambers, a judge facing 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 and pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon, “Now, then, I am returning $5,000, and we are going to decide this case solely on its merits.”

Now.....That is funny

Sounds just like Williamson County but probably damn near every court in the land.
