And finally… Lord Neuberger’s joke

During a witty and insightful speech at the annual WS Society dinner in Edinburgh on Friday night, Lord Neuberger, former president of the UK Supreme Court, told the following joke:

An outrageously charging QC, a moderately charging QC and Santa Claus are put in a room with a £50 note on the table.

The light is switched off and, when it is switched on again, the £50 note has vanished.

Q: Who took the £50 note?

A: The outrageously charging QC, of course. The other two don’t exist!
