Reply #10: Reminds me of an old joke

[47of74]

This reminds me a little bit of this old joke,

A couple holding a baby came before a judge one day wanting to get married. They had all the requisite paperwork, which the judge examined. The judge said, "You'll need to have this license notarized first."

So the couple went back down to the recorder's office and got the license notarized by the clerk. They went back upstairs and presented the license to the judge again, who said, "The clerk's signature is in the wrong place."

So it was back down to the recorder's office again to get a corrected license. They went back upstairs to the judge and presented the license to the judge. The judge looked over the license and said, "Everything seems to be in order here. Just one question. Who's the baby? Is that your son?"

When the bride to be answered that it was her son, the judge replied, "Ok. I can still marry you. But be aware that the child will be considered a bastard."

"Funny," the groom to be replied, "but that's what the clerk said you were."
