Phil and Jill had been married for many years but now were in divorce court. Following a barrage of questions by both attorneys, questions came from a new source. The Judge asked "Phil, is it true that over the last three years of your marriage, you did not speak to Jill?" Phil replies "Yes, Judge, that is correct". "And how do you explain this unusual conduct?" the judge inquires. Phil replies "It's not polite to interrupt anyone. That's what mum taught me. So, I didn't want to interrupt her, Your Honor".
