Judge showed a Gold Pen and asked, Is this a pen or is this Gold?
Case was: How much custom duty was payable on Gold Pen. If it is treated as pen, lower custom duty was payable.
If it is treated as Gold, higher custom duty was payable.
Dispute reached the court. To solve the problem, judge picked up gold pen and asked lawyer, is this a pen or is this gold?
"It is a pen, My lord", replied the lawyer.
That settled the controversy.
