Later that morning, the judge conducted a hearing. A witness was asked by his counsel: “When you reached the place where the killing took place, what did you saw?” The judge was aghast at the wrong grammar, so he interrupted the lawyer, “Mr. Counsel, please be careful in asking questions. Consult first your three colleges sitting by your side before you examine the witness.” The lawyer also detected the error of the judge and wanted to correct him respectfully. So he meekly replied, “Your Honor, you must be referring to my three colleagues, not to my school or my college.”
Judge CID was even more irritated. He banged the gavel and blurted, “Colleagues, singular; colleges, plural!”
