"Case elosed" joke
Yeardly Norton, an Irishman, was a leading criminal lawyer of Madras known for his biting sarcasm. He was appearing on behalf of a plaintiff in a very sensational case involving two important personalities in a case of adultery.
To drive home his point, without wasting time of the court, he said:
'Your Honour, the case is very simple. But in a case of adultery, you will agree that it is difficult to prove factual reality in pictures unless a three dimensional camera is fixed to every bedroom since a mere peep through the keyhole will never suffice. But, in all fairness, if a man and woman are alway found closeted in a room for hours at a stretch, rather Your Lordship nor I would expect them to be reading the Bible or the Geeta.' Norton won his case.
