Riddle

Firstly, a reminder, of the Ladies versus Gents this afternoon. Arrive by 1pm for a 1:30pm start.

John C: Well apart from the obvious of them both being able to talk the hind legs off a donkey, why is a barrister like a politician Eddie?

Eddie: Because his business depends upon his standing at the bar.
