      A judge was hearing a drink-driving case but the defendant, who had a history of driving under the influence, demanded a jury trial. It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon and getting a jury would take some time, so the judge called an adjournment and went out in the hall looking to recruit anyone available for jury duty.
      
      In the main lobby he found a dozen lawyers and told them that they were a jury. The lawyers thought this would be a novel experience and followed the judge back into the courtroom.
      
      The trial itself was over in about ten minutes and it was obvious that the defendant was quilty. The jurors retired to their room, and the judge, thinking that they would be back with their verdict in a matter of minutes, prepared to go home.
      
      But after three hours, the jury was still out. The judge was furious and sent the bailiff into the jury room to find out what was delaying the verdict.
      
      When the bailiff returned, the judge said impatiently: "Well, have they reached a verdict yet?"
      
      The bailiff shook his head and said: "Verdict? They're still arguing over who should be foreman!"
