Why did the judge cross the road? To become a stand-up comic.

A New Jersey municipal judge who has been told by the state Supreme Court he can’t also be a stand-up comedian in his off hours has resigned from the bench.

How many judges does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, because they have the bailiffs do it.

Vince Sicari tells The Associated Press he tendered his resignation Thursday.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court ruled Sicari acting and comedy career “is incompatible” with judicial conduct codes. Appearing as Vince August, the 44-year-old has appeared on network television shows and New York City comedy clubs.

So a judge walks into a bar. HEY IT COULD HAPPEN.

The court noted in its opinion that Sicari’s comedy act demeans some people based on religion or national origin and that that could cause some to question his impartiality as a judge.

What’s the difference between God and a family court judge? God does not think he is a family court judge.
