Taking his seat in his chambers, the smart Judge faced the opposing lawyers.
"So, the Judge said, I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe."
Both lawyers became uncomfortable.
" You, attorney Mr Smith, gave me $ 5,00,000, and you, attorney Mr Wright, gave me $ 6,00,000."
The judge now reached into his pocket and pulled out $ 1,00,000. He handed it to attorney Mr Wright and said...
"Now that I'm returning $1,00,000, we're going to decide this case solely on its merits!"
