Florida Supreme Court Challenges New Jersey Supreme Court to Round of Golf.
Talahassee
In a show of inter-judiciary support, Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Harry Lee Anstead today sent a light hearted invitation to a round of golf to New Jersey Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz.
"In light of recent developments," Anstead wrote "we think you may want to get out of town for a few days." New Jersey court officials believe Anstead may be referring to the upcoming October 7th Troise v. Extel Communications case.
"That's gotta be what they're talkin' about," said Vito Vianello, a spokesman for the court.
After rousing the napping Chief Justice Poritz, Vianello mentioned that there were still a few details to iron out before the match could be finalized. "We don't want to rush a decision, y'know what I'm sayin'? I mean, there's seven of us, and seven of them. That's like five foursomes. It sounds pretty complicated."
Anstead proposed that the rules of golf be followed, and that no substitutions of players be allowed after the 9th hole. New Jersey justice Zazzali reacted favorably saying "Great! That means I can have Tiger Woods take over for me on 14, just in case I'm not hitting them well."
The two courts are now attempting to agree on who will keep score, with Florida suggesting representatives from Dade County, and New Jersey proposing a score keeper from thier staff of clerks. "I don't see what the big deal is about a score keeper," remarked Zazzali "We count stuff here all the time, how hard can it be?"
The match is scheduled to take place sometime after the November 5th election.
The NJSC doesn't need anymore "holes" than those on the bench.
You'd have to ask this guy, the probable hero of both the FL and NJ courts. He shoots in the low 80s, I'll have you know (not counting the four mulligans he takes per hole).
