A status update on a friend's Facebook page reminded me of a (probably apocryphal) story I once heard...A barrister had spent the best part of an hour explaining the finer points of a case to an increasingly confused and irritable judge.
At the end of the barrister's speech, the judge shook his head and said, "You can talk all you like, but I really am none the wiser!"
"No, my Lord," came the swift rejoinder, "But you are better informed!"
The comment was made by F. E. Smith - who later became the Earl of Birkenhead.
