Agreed With the Court

A lawyer came into court drunk, when the judge said to him: "Sii*. I am sorry to see you in a situation which is a disgrace to yourself and family and the profession to which you belong.” This reproof elicited the following colloquy: “Did your honor speak to me?” “I did, sir. Tsald, sir, that in my opinion you disgraced yourself and family, the court, Etnd the profession by your course of conduct." “May i-l-it please your honor, I have been an attorney in-in-ln this c-court for fifteen years, and permit me to say, your honor, that this is the first correct opinion I have ever knew you to give.”
