The judge told me
that representing
myself would be
like having a
really good looking
fool for a lawyer.
Then I said, if it
it pleases the court
I would like to do
a cartwheel.

Any court would be delighted!
‘Motions’ reminds me that many years back I was giving evidence in the criminal courts. The accused (bonkers chap) decided he would defend himself. His cross-examination was interesting as each time he wanted to ask himself a question he left the dock, strolled to where the barristers sit, asked said question, then went back to the dock to reply. The Judge gave him a custodial sentence for contempt of court, over and above the sentence for his crime. (True, by the way).
Not guilty by reason of being entertaining.
Should have been…his cause was not helped when he referred to the Judge by a one syllable 4 letter word beginning with ‘c’.
His other mistake was not also switching back & forth between a barrister wig & a flat cap. Had he, maybe he could have created some sort of crack in logic, like Peter Sellers in After the Fox
Most true…he as the consummate twat yet I rather took to him.
Often when I’m standing in a hallway I’ll contemplate doing a series of cartwheels. The only thing holding me back is that I never learned how.
Be the cartwheel!
It’s much more likely I’d “Be the Patient.”
