"Jury of Attorneys" joke

A judge in a small city was hearing a drunk driving case. The defendant, who had both a record and a reputation for driving under the influence, demanded a jury trial.
Since it was nearing 4pm and getting a jury would take time, the judge called a recess and went out in the hall to look for anyone who might be available for jury duty. He found a dozen attorneys in the main lobby and told them that they were a jury.
They thought this would be quite a novel experience, so they followed the judge back to the courtroom. In no more than ten minutes, the trial was over and it was very apparent that the defendant was guilty.
The jury went into the jury room, the judge started getting ready to go home, and everyone waited. After nearly three hours, the judge was out of patience, so he sent the baliff into the jury room to find out what was holding up the verdict.
When the baliff returned a few minutes later, the judge asked, "Well, have they reached a verdict yet?"
Shaking his head, the baliff replied, "Verdict? They're still doing nominating speeches for the foreman's position!"
