"After a heated exchange during a trial" joke

After a heated exchange during a trial, the judge asked both counselors to approach the bench.
"Your Honor," said lawyer Cox, "I objected because my distinguished colleague was badger-ing the witness. It's obvious he's never heard of the Bill of Rights."
"Rubbish!" snapped attorney Updike. "I happen to know them by heart."
Cox cocked a disbelieving brow. "Do you, now? Well, Updike, I have a hundred dollars! that says you can't even tell me the first iew words."
Bristling, Updike accepted the challenge and began, "I pledge allegiance to the flag.. .."
"Damn," Cox interrupted, fishing the money from his pocket, "I didn't think you'd know it."
