A judge in a semi-small city was hearing a drunk-driving case and the defendent who had both a record and a reputation for driving under the influence demanded a jury trial It was nearly 4 p m and getting a jury would take time so the judge called a recess and went out in the hall looking to impanel anyone available for jury duty He found a dozen lawyers in the main lobby and told them that they were a jury The lawyers thought this would be a novel experience and so followed the judge back to the courtroom The trial was over in about 10 minutes and it was very clear that the defendent was guilty The jury went into the jury-room the judge started getting ready to go home and everyone waited After nearly three hours the judge was totally out of patience and sent the bailiff into the jury-room to see what was holding up the verdict When the bailiff returned the judge said Well have they got a verdict yet? The bailiff shook his head and said Verdict? Hell they`re still doing nominating speeches for the foreman`s position
