Judge Hunter's New Pants
In the 1940's, Floyd Hunter, the local judge in the small town of Decatur, Indiana, had a side business repairing wooden bowling pins for the surrounding bowling alleys. One day, quite unexpectedly, he was called into court. Not taking time to change his clothes, he showed up in pants all covered with paint splotches and dirt. After a quick hearing, "His Honor" found the perpetrator guilty and fined him ten dollars. On paying the fine, the lawbreaker handed the judge and extra five bucks along with these words, "Here...get yourself some new pants."
