CHEATING

A story is told about a not-too-honest judge who was trying a case involving two railroads. When he received the briefs from the two lawyers, they both contained bribes.

The first lawyer had sent a check for $10,000. The second lawyer’s check was for $15,000. The judge looked at the two checks, thought a moment, and then called his secretary.

“Make out a check for $5,000 and send it to the second lawyer,” he said. “We’re going to decide this case on its own merits.”
