A few days ago,the Apex Court witnessed a slugfest in the Judge Loya case.
Two seniors became verbal gladiators.
While our Super Chief surprisingly kept mum,his Harvard trained colleague invoked two dead predecessors (whose portraits hung in that hallowed hall), to restore decorum.
In a bid to control noise pollution in the first court he also remarked "Don't turn this court into a fish market!"

The seniors did not mind..But apparently the fishermen did!
They are now demanding an apology to redress what they perceive as an insult heaped upon them by comparing a place that sometimes becomes an arena for dirty politics with a place where honest haggling takes place viz.the fish market..

Needless to say,Gobble D. Gook(who never wants to be in any Bar where the starters don't include fish) sympathises with the fisher folk..

This Lawmerick is just to show solidarity with them..don't smell anything fishy in it..

What did privileged Lords think?
That we would tolerate any kink?

We sell fresh fish
Don't talk rubbish

Apologise,Milords!We can raise a stink!
