A barrister friend told me this little gem:
A member of her chambers was in court one Monday morning when the judge said, in sombre judicious tones, "I'm afraid that we'll have to adjourn this case. I have written my judgment out but I left it in my cottage in Devon and I can't get it sent here until tomorrow." 'Fax it up, my lord,' the helpful barrister suggested. To which his Lordship replied, "Yes, it does rather."
