The Judge, the Purse and the Fishnet Stockings

I once knew a bankruptcy judge who was alleged to wear his Little League coaching uniform under his robes. But how could I have missed this?

Afterthought: As good a time as any to recall my own judging days, when I used to keep a tie hanging behind the door in chambers, to slip on when I went into the courtroom. My law clerk informed me that United Airlines (in those days, at least) used to supply its desk clerks with clip-on ties so when the customer reached out to grab it, at least they wouldn't get strangled. He said he thought that the Administrative Office of US Courts ought to accord us judges the same courtesy.

Fn.: Oops, I repeat myself.
