The judge has ruled against him again and again. Finally the man loses his temper and mutters, “What a moron!”
The judge flushes with anger and shouts, “$450 fine!”
“$450?!” the man sputters. “I said three words.”
“Those three words were contempt of court,” the judge says, “and that’s a $450 fine.”

The man says, “No, I’m just checking to see if I can afford two more words.”
