Some Judges are Good

A judge in Tacoma, Washington, responded to a 465-page lawsuit that had been filed in his court. Citing a rule that requires a "short and plain statement" of allegations, the judge penned the following limerick:

Plaintiff has a great deal to say,
But it seems he skipped Rule 8(a).
His complaint is too long,
Which renders it wrong.
Please rewrite and refile today.
