According to a March 6, 2006 report at The Smoking Gun, a Bankruptcy judge in Texas recently quoted none other than Adam Sandler in a recent ruling. In his February 21, 2006 order, Judge Leif Clark denied defendant's motion after noting that "...the court cannot determine the substance, if any, of the Defendant's legal argument, nor can the court even ascertain the relief that the Defendant is requesting. The Defendant's motion is accordingly denied for being incomprehensible".
The Judge however, wasn't done yet. He added a footnote that read as follows:
Or, in the words of the competition judge to Adam Sandler's title character in the movie "Billy Madison,", after Billy Madison had responded to a question with an answer that sounded superficially reasonable, but lacked any substance,
Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one ofthe most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Deciphering motions like the one presented here wastes valuable chamber staff time and invites this sort of footnote.
No word on whether the movant appealed. Who says federal judges don't have a sense of humor?
