Quick, Short, Funny Court
Appearance

Jerry Bartle was arrested and put on trial for robbing a local shop at
gunpoint. In his wisdom he decided that he would represent himself in court.
He appeared to be doing reasonably well until the shop’s owner took the
stand to give his evidence.

She had identified him immediately as the robber, when Bartle jumped up
and yelled, ‘You’re lying! I should have blown your head off!’ He paused,
then added, ‘If I had been the one that was there.’

The jury found him guilty and Jerry Bartle was sentenced to thirty years
imprisonment.

Short, Funny, Magistrates
Court Story

This hilarious story was researched online by Will and Guy and may make
you laugh at the stupidity of some people. We cannot, however, vouch for its
veracity.

A man arrived the magistrates court, he was charged with impersonating a
policeman.

On arrival he was wearing a blue baseball cap with the word ‘police’ on
it; a fluorescent yellow jacket, with ‘police’ on it, he was carrying a
truncheon, a can of CS spray, and he had blue flashing lights in his car.

You will, no doubt wish to know how he came to be arrested. It apparently
happened like this: he flagged down a car with two men in it, pulled them
over and said ‘Police. You’re nicked.’

They answered, ‘No mate. You’re not police – we are.’ Funnily, he had
stopped two off-duty detectives in an unmarked police car and so ended up in
court.

You could not invent a story like it.

Finding a Priest Or a Lawyer

Betty and Martin were about to get married.  Just before the wedding, they were tragically killed in a car crash.  When they arrived at the gates of heaven
they explained to St. Peter that they were about to be married on earth, and that now they would very much like to be married in heaven.

St. Peter said, ‘Betty and Martin you are a deserving couple, wait here
in the reception room.  He was gone for several months then at last, St Peter returned.

Martin said, ‘We’ve been thinking as we were waiting here, eternity is a long time to be married’.  Betty
chipped in, ‘We were wondering, if the marriage did not work you arrange for a
divorce?’

St. Peter was exasperated, and then said ‘Look! It took me 6 days to find a priest up here in heaven.  How long do you think it would take me to find a lawyer up here?’
