I’ve lost track of these things, but here are some new ones to throw in the mix with the other random things coming out of the halls of justice and civil servants:
“It’s a good idea that if you want to ask for something — you show up.” - Judge to client-less attorney.
“I’m happy to be free.” - Defendant.
“You were going to open the safe with a hammer?” – Judge to defendant.
“Sit down and think about your fate.” – Judge to defendant. Good advice for all.
“You’re not much of a gentleman.” - Judge to defendant.
“He attacked me, so I head butted him.” – Defendant to judge.
JUDGE: “What’s that thing (Taser) do when it hits you?”
DEFENDANT: “It sobers you up real fast.”
JUDGE: “You’ve got to quit drinking, man.”
“Let’s give him four years in prison or 30 days in Pacific County. It’s about the same.” – Lawyer.
“I just have a big butt.” – Lawyer.
“I’m sorry, your honor. I didn’t have the energy to write out his entire criminal history.” – Prosecutor.
CITY COUNCIL QUOTES:
“That’s an annual thing we’ll be doing every year.” – Committee chair.
“If the water’s not there … it may not qualify as a wetland.” – Consultant.
I particularly like the head butted one. And the third to last. Oh I love the randoms that get said when no one really cares.
[...] finally today, we turn to me ripping Jacob off. I am the keeper of the portable scanner (it is awesome btw) and the local agencies can be odd. [...]
