"TERRY TONGUE-TIED" joke
In Merry Olde England outlaws were the celebrities of their day. At the Sheriff's Court in Nottingham, a Terry Tongue-Tied of Tunbridge Wells was up on a charge of' Indecently propositioning a man of the Cloth in a public place.
His defense spoke on his behalf. "Your Honor, my client is an innocent man. He had come to Nottingham with the expressed duty of collecting autographs of our famous outlaws. He had approached Robin Hood in the forest and asked of him tentatively' Hobin Rood?' to which he had been corrected and told,' No my friend, it's Robin Hood.' Our infamous outlaw then gave my client his esteemed signature. The same had happened later with a Will Scarlet although he had addressed him as' Skill Warlet?' You see Your Honor, my client becomes completely tongue tied in the presence of anyone famous."
At that point the Judge had decided to hear from the plaintiff who had brought the prosecution. "Er what's the name of the plaintiff again?" asked the Judge to the Court Clerk.
"Friar Tuck," replied the Clerk.
The case was dismissed.
