Judge : Prisoner, you have smashed the man up, and destroyed a lot of property, so I must fine you £20. But (weepfully) seeing how gloriously you have served your country in South Africa, I shall ask the Government to remit the fine, and the prosecutor will humbly apologise to you. 5 - Trooper (in the dock) : The blooming Government owes me £20, and, as I can't get it from them, they can beep the bally money against the fine, I can earn more. *
