World's Best Joke Lawyer (sorry, Lawyer Joke)

A crusty old judge was about to sentence a man convicted of indecently dealing with a chicken. He peaked over his glasses and asked the man’s barrister.

‘Mr Fotherington, what does your client have to say for himself before sentence?’

Mr Fotherington looked at his client, who dutifully leaned towards him and whispered, ‘Fuck all Your Honour.’

Mr Fotherington looked away and nuisanced his brief.

‘Well’, demanded the judge, ‘what does he say?’
Fotherington cleared his throat. ‘Fuck all Your Honour.’

‘Really,’ replied the judge, ‘I could have sworn I saw his lips move.’
