The New Statesman Quote
Judge: [Banging his gavel] Silence in court! [Looks up from his papers and sees Piers trying unsuccessfully to sneak in]
Judge: Mr. Fletcher-Dervish, I presume?
Piers Fletcher-Dervish: [Nervously] I pray the court's indulgence, my lord. My train was hijacked by irate commuters and I was taken to Cop Foster's against my will. Have I missed much?
Judge: Not as much as you're going to miss. I fine you one thousand guineas for contempt of court. Well, I think this is a suitable place to adjourn proceedings for this afternoon, as I have tickets for the lady's semi-finals at Wimbledon. Usher, the pictures please. [Takes a look at the pictures, gets a big smile on his face, and quickly puts the papers away]
