Caught in His Own Trap

star 5

When an English judge was once starting from home to town his wife begged him to permit her to make the journey with him. As it was in the days of carriages she couldn’t go as often as she liked. The judge said, “I shall be very happy, dear, but I hope that you will not take any large hat-boxes with you as there is no room for silly whatnots in the carriage.”

Next morning they started. On the way, the judge stretched his legs and struck his feet against something under the seat. It was a hat-box! He was dreadfully angry, opened the carriage window and threw the box out.

The coachman stopped. "A box has fallen out by accident,” he thought. The servant got down to pick it up.

"Drive on! Drive on!” shouted the angry judge, "leave that thing in the mud.”

Next morning they reached the town where the judge was supposed to appear at a court of justice. He dressed himself in his judge’s robes and was ready, but he couldn’t find his wig.

“Now,” said he, “where in the world is my wig? I cannot go to court without it.”

“Your wig, sir?” said the servant, “But you threw it out of the carriage window yourself yesterday.”
