Court fun
Word of advice: Don't hint, in open court, that you're worried about passing a drug test. Yes, that's what a goofball did in court yesterday.What I didn't include in that account was the part where the judge asked me, also in open court, which 'high-profile' case had brought me there. Then, after the judge heard what this guy did (got himself arrested for burglary two weeks in a row), the judge said he'd heard of the case and, with a glance at me, said he believed he'd also read about it in the paper.
I should ask the court reporter if the judge's part addressed to me is now in the case record. Of course, that wouldn't include the part where, when the judge took the bench and saw me, he paused, looked at the day's docket, then looked back at me with a quizzical glance. That's actually typical of him; it's as though he has fun trying to guess why I'm there.
