A couple arrived at town hall
seconds before closing time, and caught a judge just as he was about to
leave, and asked him to marry them.
He asked if they had a license and, when they said they didn't, He sent them off to get one.
They caught the town clerk just as he was locking up, and got the license from him.
When they got back to the judge, he pointed out they had filled the names in wrong -- with his where hers belonged and vice versa.
They rushed back to the clerk's office, caught him again, and got another license.
This time, the judge noticed
that the clerk had filled in the date in the wrong format. Again they
caught the clerk... and after five reissued licenses, the judge was
finally satisfied.
Judge:
"I hope you appreciate why I made you keep going back. If there are
irregularities in the license, your marriage would not be legal, and any
children you might have would be technical bastards."
Groom: "That's funny - that's just what the clerk called you."
