Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers.<\/p>\n

“So<\/em>,” he said, “I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably.<\/p>\n

“You, attorney Leon, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000.” <\/em><\/p>\n

The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon.<\/p>\n

“Now then, I’m returning $5,000, and we’re going to decide this case solely on its merits!”<\/em><\/p>\n

A young lawyer died. When he arrived at the gate of heaven, he complained to St. Peter.<\/p>\n

“I am only 32 years old and have never been sick. Why did you call me here so early? You made a terrible mistake!” <\/em><\/p>\n

St. Peter calmed him down and said,<\/p>\n

“We usually don’t make mistakes up here, but I will check.” <\/em><\/p>\n

After a considerable time, he came back and said,<\/p>\n

“There was indeed a mistake, but you see, it is not our mistake. We simply added up all the hours you billed to your clients, and it came to 87 years.”<\/em><\/p>\n
