Judge makes 'Green Eggs and Ham' ruling

CONCORD, N.H. - A federal judge was driven to rhyme after receiving a hard-boiled egg in the mail from a prison inmate protesting his diet. U.S. District Court Judge James Muirhead reached for Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" for inspiration after getting the egg from inmate Charles Jay Wolff.

"I do not like eggs in the file," Muirhead wrote. "I do not like them in any style. I will not take them fried or boiled. I will not take them poached or broiled. I will not take them soft or scrambled/Despite an argument well-rambled."

He then ordered the egg destroyed: "No fan I am/Of the egg at hand. Destroy that egg! Today! Today! Today I say! Without delay!"

i finally found a link to the actual order: http://www.boston.com/news/daily/23/show_case_doc.pdf

"From this day forth
This court will ban
hard-boiled eggs of any brand.
And if you should not understand
The meaning of the ban at hand
Then you should contact either Dan,
the Deputy Clerk, or my clerk Jan."

That is awesome.

This was better than the speech Judge Muirhead gave during the swearing-in ceremony for new attorneys a few years back, when he basically said "you're all a bunch of ignorant screw-ups".

Hey, at least he's a Democrat!

Maybe they are ignorant screw-ups.
