True stories:
One time, when I was a public defender in Boston, we had a drunk in the lock up who had been arrested the night before. The judge looked to me and said "Is he a PC?" For a second, my mind went "that's an out of game question, Your Honor!" and then I realized that meant the drunk had been put in jail for his own "protective custody."
Another time more recently, just after an event on an early Monday morning , I was asked by the judge a question which required a positive response, and I said "Aye" and then caught myself and continued "...agree!"
