ONE OF THE FEW DAYS
There was a dispute at Birmingham County Court today as to whether any damage had occurred to an umbrella.
Counsel: Have you brought the umbrella?
Plaintiff: No, sir.
Counsel: Why didn’t you bring it?
Judge Ruegg: Well, this is one of the few days when an umbrella is not required.
