Called in for an audit, the young man was confronted by a surly IRS agent.
It says here, Mr. Briggs, that you are a bachelor, and yet you claim a dependent son. Surely this must be a mistake…?

Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. So, he said, I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe.
Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably.
You, attorney Leon, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000. The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon.
Now then, Im returning $5,000, and were going to decide this case solely on its merits.

Disorder in the Court: a Collection of Transquips
Collected by Richard Lederer, reprinted in N.H. Business Review
Most language is spoken language, and most words, once they are
uttered, vanish forever into the air. But such is not the case with
language spoken during courtroom trials, for there exists an army of
courtroom reporters whose job it is to take down and preserve every
statement made during the proceedings.
Mary Louise Gilman, the venerable editor of the National Shorthand
Reporter has collected many of the more hilarious courtroom bloopers
in two books – Humor in the Court (1977) and More Humor in the Court,
published a few months ago. From Mrs. Gilmans two volumes, here
are some of my favorite transquips, all recorded by Americas keepers
of the word:

An American, a Jew and a Canadian were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.
Well, said the American, I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Jew and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $50, we could return to the earth. So of course I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $50, and the next thing I knew I was back here.
Thats amazing! said one of the doctors, But what happened to the other two?
Last I saw them, replied the American, the Jew was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his!
Through infinite myst, software reverberates
In code possessd of invisible folly.
Wilt thou dare interface
With thy Apple Macintosh keypad
By toggling my tweaky bosom?
Alack!
Leave laserjet laughter to the laptop lover.
Behold beta beauty in a keyboards keen kindness.
Now yet torment thy melancholy hardware
By always vexing the amorous flame
Of thine model motherboard.
This tyrant widget conceals scuzzy games
And pleasure treasured dear:
Then kiss me.

Tis a rare tongue
That many maiden bugs command,
Revealing bounteous distress,
Trashing bold memory:
Click and crash gloriously.
Weep not, beauteous Microsoft!
Hereafter reboot.

Yo mommas so fat that the last time that she wore a T-shirt with a X on it a helicopter tried to land on her.
Your dog is so dumb that if you were to cut off his tail and make him walk backwards hed start wagging his head!
What do you call a blond with half a brain?
