And don’t call me Shirley

Federal Judge Jerry Buchmeyer’s legal humor blog Say What?! has this exchange from a trial in Brownsville, Texas:

     Q.  Do you have any other bills or debts or credit card payments?
     A.  I don’t have any credit cards.
     Q. Are you currently in bankruptcy?
     A.  Yes.
     Q.  What was that for?
     The Court:  Not having enough money to pay your bills, basically.
