（单词翻译:单击）

A couple of codgers（有怪癖的人） got into a quarrel and came before the local magistrate1（地方法官） . The loser, turning to his opponent in a combative2 frame of mind（心情） , cried: "I'll law you to the Circuit Court."

"I'm willing," said the other.

"I'll law you to the Supreme3 Court."

"I'll be there."

"And I'll law the hell!"

"My attorney will be there," was the calm reply.
