I know it is Valentine’s Day, and I know that half of you had a really good Super Sunday (while the other half of you ran out of spinach dip in the third quarter.) But it is Monday, and once again time for our Old Joke Quiz. (Look at it this way: how will we ever finish with this unpublished book of joke quizzes unless we go through the jokes?)
I find that this section of the Law and Crime jokes concerns almost solely jokes involving judges. The judge joke was a staple of comedy just as thoroughly as the basic lawyer joke, and it is probably unnecessary to mention the “Her Comes De Judge”, which would get us into side issues involving The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Rowan and martin’s Laugh-In, Shorty Long, Pigmeat Markham, and enough material for six or seven blogs.
So, as you eat your chocolates and leftover chicken wings, preparing to get out tomorrow and buy the half-price marshmallow hearts, be grateful you have only these jokes to deal with.

J6.In another courtroom, the judge intoned, “You have been found guilty, sir, and this court sentences you to ninety-nine years.”
“Ninety-nine years!” cried the defendant. “I don’t have ninety-nine years to live! No one can do ninety-nine years!”
The judge glared down at him. “( )”
J7.Yet another judge, farther down the hall, was demanding, “Couldn’t this case have been settled out of court?”
The defendant shrugged. “( )”
J8.In divorce court, the judge announced, “This court finds for your wife, and awards her six thousand dollars a month in alimony.”

J11.The fence between Heaven and Hell was getting worn down with so many failed attempts by the denizens of Hell to get out. Though this was clearly the Devil’s fault, he refused to have anything to do with the repairs.

“Oh, yeah?” said the Devil. “( )”
