The District Judge in our county is a no-nonsense woman who has
never left any doubt as to her professionalism. What those of us
who work in the court didn't know was whether she had a sense of
humor. The matter was put to rest the morning an older woman was
testifying before the judge. Several times during the proceedings
the woman addressed the judge as "Honey." Finally the judge looked
the woman in the eye and said, "That's Judge Honey."

When asked for her occupation, a woman charged with a traffic
violation said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from
the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to
appear before this court," he smiled with delight. "Now sit
down at that table and write 'I will not pass through a red light'
five hundred times."
