I love your portrayal of the judge. Going by the law, but trying keep it light and being sensible about issues.

I just thought of something. Your judge has similar character traits to Perry, which I think is wonderful. Authoritative, but kind-hearted.

I think, therefore, I get bananas.

When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.

What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.
