Joke: Judge Has Some Fun

A judge grew tired of seeing the same town drunk in front of his bench. One day the judge glared down at the man, who was still intoxicated¹, and thundered "It is the sentence of this court that you be taken from here to a place of execution and there hanged by the neck until DEAD."

The drunk promptly² fainted.

The court bailiff commenced to reviving the man, and looked up at the judge, at which time the judge shrugged³ and responded "I've always wanted to do that."
