The information hit George like a dose of pure, unadulterated joy. He kept a hand over his mouth, trying to stifle the bubbling laughter. He was now in possession of the medical history of a stern, seemingly emotionless judge, who apparently had a severe weakness for bad puns.

George imagined the judge, stone-faced in court, cracking a terrible joke. He felt an urge to buy a book of the worst puns he could find and leave it anonymously on the man’s doorstep.

A grin widened on his face. This was a gift.
