Not funny, but it reminded me of attending a guardianship hearing years ago, and I started signaling to the judge that his court reporter was asleep.
He was annoyed and asked me who I was, but that's a whole 'nuther story!
Ridiculous, isn't it? Had there not been video, think the judge would have owned up to it? No way.
