Michael was hauled up on assault charges.

And it wasn't the first time Michael was standing in front of this particular judge.

The judge eyed Michael sternly and said, "It says here that you beat up your friend George. This isn't the first time you two have come to blows. Tell me why I shouldn't send you off to jail."

"Well, your honor, it's like this," Michael began, "we were in the bar, sitting real peaceful. Then, George turns to me and said, 'you know, Michael, the only damned reason you're behaving is you're afraid of that asshole judge.'

Well, Your Honor, when he said that about you, I just busted him in the mouth."
